“A bold, funny, mordant, and deeply intelligent debut.” David Foster Wallace, author of Infinite Jest
“[A] mordant, cockeyed first novel…Boarding-school novels are invariably allegorical, and That’s Not a Feeling is no different; the absurdity of Roaring Orchards is the absurdity of life, compressed onto several rural acres.” The New York Times Book Review
“Funny at times, and more than a little sad, the book’s form perfectly mirrors Benjamin’s profound sense of dislocation and uncertainty. This is a powerful, haunting look at the alternate universe of an unusual therapeutic community.” Library Journal (starred review)
“The prose is matter-of-fact, even placid, and studded with perfectly phrased gems, a cool surface to a work that is rich in feeling. A wonderful and noteworthy debut.” Booklist (starred review)
“Josefson writes vigorously and is well attuned to the upheavals experienced by adolescents.” Kirkus Reviews
