"A sprightly menaced thing." -- TIME OUT NEW YORK
"This is a novel about appearances, reality and shadow, identity and anonymity, words and their corresponding signifieds or the echoes of those signifieds. The Impossibly is like Beckett's Molloy, but faster paced, better to dance to. It is like Robbe-Grillet's Jealousy, but so much funnier." **-- PERCIVAL EVERETT, ** from the Introduction
When the anonymous narrator botches an assignment from the clandestine organization that employs him, everyone in his life becomes a participant in his punishment. In the end, he is called out of retirement for a final assignment: to seek and identify his own assassin.
This edition includes an introduction by Percival Everett, an afterword by the author, and the novella, "Green Metal Door," the first edition's "lost chapter."
