Comfortable couple copes with an life-altering condition that sends the man walking. The man becomes at war with himself, he and the marriage survives somehow. Very stimulating, different-to-read, hard-to-put down novel." (  ) MGADMJK | Aug 17, 2023 |  Lived up to expectations. About a bigwig lawyer who suddenly gets the urge to walk, and when I say walk he walks for like hundreds of miles at a time non stop. Oh your kids graduating tonight, sorry i'm walking , I can't . It's that bad, it's tie him down at nighttime bad. Overall a great read, treat yourself. (  ) Wjfost11 | Mar 5, 2021 | It was very well written and even moving in parts, but that couldn't distract me from the fact that it had little to no plot development. I felt like it was all a series of depressingly absurd incidents in a man's life that never led to a climax. I can handle depressing, but it's kind of cheating a reader to write a depressing novel that doesn't really go anywhere or impart any memorable message. Ferris' previous work, Then We Came to the End, is a much better and more dynamic novel. ( ) DF1158 | Oct 20, 2019 | Read for character and (marital) relationships. Those who liked the Time Traveler's Wife might be intrigued by this book's premise. ( ) alyssajp | Jul 29, 2019 | One of my favorites (  ) ibkennedy | Aug 29, 2018 |
 Joshua Ferris’ 2007 debut Then We Came To The End fearlessly wielded the first-person plural to chronicle the fall of a Chicago advertising agency through its employees’ eyes. There is no “we” in The Unnamed, his superbly depressing follow-up about a marital crisis with no exit, but the descent is more personal, frightening, and ultimately meaningful.  Though his idea might have worked equally well as a short story, Ferris paces his scenes and writes dialogue that sustains the tension, walking a line between realism and something more estranged, catching the invisible shifting energy in the room when words get spoken.
