It’s not every day that I find a book I love. David Barringer, a designer and author featured in Emigre, AIGA Voice, and countless other publications, explores the challenges of postmodern society with his novel, American Home Life. Barringer examines a couple’s playful attempt to raise two well rounded children, while preventing them from being trapped by greed, envy and the monotony of suburban life. The book jacket calls it the “literary equivalent of a TV sitcom,” which would make sense if sitcoms were smart, funny and addictive.–Stacy Cottrell, San Diego AIGA
We all have our lists of writers we love, those writers that not everyone in the world knows about but should. A great, talented writer deserves to be known to everyone, which is one reason why you should read the work of David Barringer. David’s latest book is the novel American Home Life, which is described as a “comic novel about contemporary suburban fatherhood,” but it’s so much more, and it’s amazing.–Bob Sassone, Professor Barnhardt’s Journal
“Edgy, funny, and heartfelt, with a smidgen of George Saunders and a touch of Aimee Bender, Barringer’s American Home Life is an original American confection: bittersweet, satisfying and true.”—Dave Housely, Barrelhouse
“A literary force to be reckoned with. Barringer’s work reminds me of the offspring of Larry Brown and George Saunders, with more pathos.”—Nathan Leslie, The Pedestal Magazine
