Everywhere You Don't Belong is a startlingly powerful novel, an unusual concentration of opposing forces—blind rage vs. empathy, comedy vs. tragedy, despair vs. hope—that resists every label it evokes: picaresque, bildungsroman, generational family saga, political novel, comic novel, love story. It’s all of those things at once and much more—an instant American classic for the post-Ferguson/Trump era.”. EVERYWHERE YOU DON’T BELONG By Gabriel Bump. It’s an elusive and risky thing to attempt in a literary work: to be funny — especially if you’re writing about sad things like trauma and loss. Everywhere You Don’t Belong is, in some ways, about the fact that Claude is listening and has been listening; he just doesn’t know for some time what to do with what everyone is saying.
