“Dark and bleak, dirty and real. . . . Dan Fante’s style is raw, insightful, and deftly realized.” — Time Out New York
“Breathtaking writing. . . . Angry, acerbic, self-pitying and often painfully funny. . . Read it at your peril.” — Anthony Bourdain
“This devastating and terrifying book . . . sees Fante writing the kind of emotionally tormented novel that his father would surely have written if he’d been born into Dan’s generation.” — Uncut
