“Delightfully visual, full of whimsy, adventure, and blithely caustic social commentary
… [a] smart, frolicsome, and charming first novel. ”
Booklist (Starred Review)
“Zany and entertaining… a generous and whacky story in the tradition of Tom Robbins.”
Publishers Weekly
“… a debut novel that’s hilarious, unpredictable, and lovely.”
Meaghan Leenaarts, Island Bookstore, Corolla, NC

“Slater Brown… is just the man I’d want to lead me through the streets of San Francisco…. Going to See the Elephant is a rollicking good tale… one can’t help falling in love.”
Michelle Richmond
“Going to See the Elephant will delight anybody who has ever written a first novel, wanted to write a first novel, and especially those who cherish reading unforgettable first novels. It is both funny and wise.”
