Product description
Review
'Reading Ben Lerner gives me the tingle at the base of my spine that happens whenever I encounter a writer of true originality. He is a courageous, immensely intelligent artist who panders to no one and yet is a delight to read. Anyone interested in serious contemporary literature should read Ben Lerner, and 10:04 is the perfect place to start' --Jeffrey Eugenides, author of The Marriage Plot
'Ben Lerner is a brilliant novelist, and one unafraid to make of the novel something truly new. 10:04 is a work of endless wit, pleasure, relevance, and vitality' --Rachel Kushner, author of The Flamethrowers
'Ben Lerner is a brilliant novelist, and one unafraid to make of the novel something truly new. 10:04 is a work of endless wit, pleasure, relevance, and vitality' --Rachel Kushner, author of The Flamethrowers
'I expected to love and, with relief, did love Ben Lerner's second novel 10:04' --'Book of the Year', Joe Dunthorne, Observer
'[Full of] twisty cleverness and originality' --Literary Review
'10:04 is an even better book than Leaving the Atocha Station, still introspective but more contemplative and tender. It's only the first week of January but I doubt I'll read a finer novel this year' ***** --Daily Telegraph
'Brave and humane... 10:04 is deeply political because it looks imaginatively at our unequal world and creates a renewed sense of possibility about the future' --Independent on Sunday
'10:04 is an accomplished work, and a mature one, and will move as many as it maddens' --Independent
'An impressive and even entertaining book - very well-written and scarily clever' --Daily Mail
'Lerner tiptoes between satire and sincerity to serve up a sparky comedy about the first-world problem of how to live well in the knowledge of wider suffering' --Metro
'Brilliant... Smart, self-absorbed and entertaining, Lerner's musings are tricksy and self-referential, which could be as dull as ditchwater in the wrong hands, but here the literary fun and games are fresh and original' -- Sunday Express
'Lerner carries off his conceit with aplomb, thanks to his intelligence, seriousness and gift for social satire' --Summer Reads, FT
'Remarkable... Lerner is doing something different with his metafictional plot: he's showing us, in good faith, how fiction gets written'
'This is an extremely funny book, and a political one. Reading 10:04 is far from a bleak experience. It is filled with moments of transcendence and glimpses of alternative ways of being and perceiving. As the narrator explains to his imagined daughter: "Art has to offer something other than stylized despair." In this dazzling, absorbing book Lerner certainly does' --Guardian
'Lerner's masterclass in metafiction breaches the boundaries between fiction and real-life, narrator and author...this is more than just another navel-gazing Brooklyn novel. It's a clever, funny discourse on the processes of writing fiction, the end result 'a work that, like a poem, is neither fiction nor nonfiction, but a flickering between them.' Lucy Scholes, Observer
'10:04 is a clever book. Lerner's style is tricksy and super-confident. The chronology leaps about nimbly, and modish black-and-white photos illustrate the text. One has to admire the virtuosity' --Independent On Sunday

Fascinating
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 29 March 2020Verified Purchase
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 2019Verified 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.

A good novel
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 23 January 2021Verified Purchase
Lerner's prose is always readable in this interesting novel of ideas. There are some excellent uses of language and ideas. However some of the ideas don't quite come off and some parts of the narrative are stronger than others.On

Excellent performance by the reader on Audible
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 10 January 2021Verified Purchase
The book raised some interesting ideas. The first person narrator was likeable. But it is not the kind of novel I like. I found it difficult to follow though the reader read it well

Complex and Experimental– 10:04 does not disappoint.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 2 March 2015Verified Purchase
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.
