Revue de presse :
'Reading Ben Lerner gives me the tingle at the base of my spine that happens whenever I encounter a writer of true originality. He is a courageous, immensely intelligent artist who panders to no one and yet is a delight to read. Anyone interested in serious contemporary literature should read Ben Lerner, and 10:04 is the perfect place to start' --Jeffrey Eugenides, author of The Marriage Plot
'Ben Lerner is a brilliant novelist, and one unafraid to make of the novel something truly new. 10:04 is a work of endless wit, pleasure, relevance, and vitality' --Rachel Kushner, author of The Flamethrowers

'I expected to love and, with relief, did love Ben Lerner's second novel 10:04' --'Book of the Year', Joe Dunthorne, Observer
'[Full of] twisty cleverness and originality' --Literary Review
'10:04 is an even better book than Leaving the Atocha Station, still introspective but more contemplative and tender. It's only the first week of January but I doubt I'll read a finer novel this year' ***** --Daily Telegraph
'Brave and humane... 10:04 is deeply political because it looks imaginatively at our unequal world and creates a renewed sense of possibility about the future' --Independent on Sunday
'10:04 is an accomplished work, and a mature one, and will move as many as it maddens' --Independent
'An impressive and even entertaining book - very well-written and scarily clever' --Daily Mail
'Lerner tiptoes between satire and sincerity to serve up a sparky comedy about the first-world problem of how to live well in the knowledge of wider suffering' --Metro
'Brilliant... Smart, self-absorbed and entertaining, Lerner's musings are tricksy and self-referential, which could be as dull as ditchwater in the wrong hands, but here the literary fun and games are fresh and original' --Sunday Express
'Remarkable... Lerner is doing something different with his metafictional plot: he's showing us, in good faith, how fiction gets written' --London Review of Books
'A self-deconstructing novel whose metafictional plot speaks of the nature of time and of things being endlessly interconnected.'
Books of the Year in Spectator chosen by Anna Aslanyan
'The cleverest, funniest and most absorbing novel I read all year'
Chosen by Edmund Gordon in TLS Books of the Year --Spectator
