Harry, Revised Summary

Harry, Revised by Mark Sarvas

Recently widowed and struggling to plan his wife's funeral, Harry Rent finds himself in an unfortunate conundrum. He finds himself in love. From his first dreams of Molly, the raven-haired waitress at his local diner, Harry, Revised traces the emotional transformation of Harry Rent, one hapless, kind, complex man (a little past his prime). This funny, poignant and beautifully written novel follows a man embracing his future by finally facing up to his past.

Harry, Revised Reviews

Mark Sarvas's first novel is funny and sad, rueful, wised-up, and curiously moving. A remarkable debut. -- John Banville, author of Booker Prize winner, The Sea
Fun, fast, and heartfelt, an exemplar of the coming-of-middle-age novel in which an overgrown boy finally learns to grow up and deal with the world with greater compassion and maturity - even if that's no guarantee he won't stop running into things. -- Joshua Ferris, author of Then We Came to the End
As witty, erudite, and outrageous as Waugh, with a flawed hero worthy of Roth. A marvelous, enviable debut. -- Andrew Sean Greer, author of The Confessions of Max Tivoli
[Sarvas] makes a winning debut with this smart and funny novel. . . [he] weaves a moving story of redemption, a wryly funny take on self-improvement, and a reassuringly optimistic view of human nature. -- Joanne Wilkinson * * Booklist * *
A witty and tenderly comic first novel. * * Waterstone's Books Quarterly * *
