Why read it?
1 author picked The Unlounging as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Named one of Kirkus Reviews' Best Books of 2018, this indie novel proposes that a beer-guzzling car enthusiast can also be a philosopher about time and Einstein’s incorrect (!!!) theory of relativity.
