In the last year, the narrator of 10:04 has enjoyed unexpected literary success, has been diagnosed with a potentially fatal heart condition, and has been asked by his best friend to help her conceive a child, despite his dating a rising star in the visual arts. In a New York of increasingly frequent super storms and political unrest, he must reckon with his biological mortality, the possibility of a literary afterlife, and the prospect of (unconventional) fatherhood in a city that might soon be under water. Exploring sex, friendship, medicine, memory, art, and politics, 10:04 is both a riveting work of fiction and a brilliant examination of the role fiction plays in our lives.

Fascinating

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 29 March 2020

This is unlike anything else I have read this year, at times a fascinating meditation on the American psychological state and at times an interesting interpersonal story. Lerner has either learnt or forced himself not to be so sexist since his poetry days and has done a decent job of writing female characters in this book. Good to see some progress in a writer - plus if you were born in the 80s you'll enjoy all the references!

A bit of a ramble

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 10 November 2019

Verified Purchase

I think this might be a book that benefits from being read in a single sitting. I found it very easy to lose the thread of what was going on but this might be because I was not very structured in my reading. I got a bit lost in some places and felt that there was lots of connections that I missed. Having said that I did enjoy the writing in places and (spoiler alert, don't read any more if you don't want any ...) did enjoy the sex scene though I'm not sure if I felt sorry for the author and his best friend or not. It seems quite sad that they had such a close friendship, close enough to want a child together, but couldn't quite make it work as a partnership.

Complex and Experimental– 10:04 does not disappoint.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 2 March 2015

Ben Lerner's writing has always gripped me, and '10:04' was no exception to read. It's clever rendering of narratives– both factual and fictional– provided a fascinating and sometimes brilliantly frustrating book, that was complex and experimental. Fans of Lerner will recognise a number of key styles and characters that are characteristic to his writing, notably the dry, self awareness that could potentially be infuriating to some, whilst for others suggests a mature and reflecting author.

Honest and encompassing

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 24 April 2018

Whenever I started to feel Lerner was taking us into meta territory or bogus confessional, he swerves and avoids being too clever in favour of searing honesty. Really wonderful.

A very interesting structure and some passages that had me laughing out loud. Definitely a refreshingly different read.
