Industry Reviews
"Long stretches of the novel...are quite funny and read as a comic monologue of the sort Eric Bogosian might perform..."
Rowe
"Bobby Stark [is] an anti-hero in the tradition of Philip Roth's horny smart boys....Stahl is honoring a distinguished American tradition, the inarticulate youthful voice of an outsider....But Bobby is just too smart to be inarticulate. And while Stahl is generous with the detail, there seems to be little style."
Bouldrey
"Despite its...comic ramblings and frequent laugh-out-loud hilarity, the love story is at times lost in the confusion of drug haze and acts of perversion."
