"Elliot Alagash" NY Times Review

I Love You, Beth Cooper writer Larry Doyle penned a review of SNL writer Simon Rich's novel "Elliot Alagash" for the NY Times. Sample quote -

"Yet the inevitable warm fuzziness doesn’t terribly undercut all the nasty pleasures previously provided, nor diminish expectations for the next bit of mischief. Mr. Rich (son of the New York Times columnist Frank Rich) is young still, with two other books already under his belt (both collections of extremely funny very short pieces) and nothing but promise ahead. If he were his own creation, he would need to be destroyed."
