Book Excerpt

WHAT THE CRITICS ARE SAYING “This extraordinary collection…the kind of writing that could hook a lot of readers, including some who rarely open a book.” The Boston Globe. “Wildly inventive.” The Baltimore Sun. “He’s always on the side of the underdog against, well, everything else….A powerful statement.” The Wall Street Journal. “He serves us plenty of good laughs.” The New York Times. “One couldn’t have hoped for a finer way to herald this major new voice in world literature.” San Francisco Chronicle. Actually, these newspapers said this stuff about someone else – I copied it off the back of a new book – but it seemed like a pretty good fit. I’ll update you as more comments come in.
