"With this hilarious and tragic novel, Travis Nichols has captured the menace and pathos and ridiculousness and dead-seriousness of the Internet." —Emily Gould, author of Friendship

Charli and Nico's wedding blog has an uninvited guest: a commenter convinced the bride is being romanced by the brother of the groom. To save her from a terrible mistake he adopts multiple identities on multiple message boards, sharing his fears for Charli, his outrage at being thwarted, and the romance, years ago in his analog past, that first attracted his meddlesome care.

Cranky, hilarious, and incisive, The More You Ignore Me takes on Internet etiquette, the distortions of voyeurism, and the incessant, expansive flow of words that may not be able to staunch loneliness, but holds out the hope of talking it to death.

"Nichols has engaged in a flabbergasting act of literary ventriloquism . . . The More You Ignore Me is a Notes from Underground by way of the Huffington Post." —The Stranger (Seattle)

"Want a reminder what you can do with fiction? Told entirely as a blog post comment from the perspective of a dude crashing a wedding website, this psychologically-driven novel is what you're looking for." —Bustle

"[Nichols] captures the wheedling tone, the aggravating escalation, the stultifying self-involvement of the Internet troll . . . Raw enough to bring the dark laughter of recognition." —Minneapolis Star-Tribune

"An experimental novel of obsession and violation that makes Nicholson Baker and Mark Leyner look positively banal." —Kirkus Reviews
