"A bighearted riff on masculine anxiety."
―Booklist
​
"hilarious, incisive and uncomfortably familiar."
―Jonathan Evison, author of The Revised Fundamentals of Caregiving
​
"Johnson's deft writing is so funny you could overlook its elegance. The King
of Nothing Much is a nimble chronicle of a stay-at-home father whose inner life
is a flow of witty rumination about the challenges of his kids, his wife, other families, and his own muffled ambitions."
―Katharine Weber, author of Still Life with Monkey and Triangle
​
"a wry study of contemporary parenting and a sensitive story of trust,
relationships and promises made, and broken."
―Peter Mountford, author of A Young Man's Guide to Late Capitalism
​
"Johnson perfectly captures both the ennui and elation of parenthood and the mundanity and magic of marriage."
―T. Greenwood, author of Rust & Stardust and Where I Lost Her
