REVIEWS OF THE AUTHOR'S PREVIOUS BOOKS
A cheerful celebration of a big American myth... An inspired novel.
—TIME Magazine
Bells clanging, lights aflash, the plot's ball bangs and rebounds. . . . A wonderful and wonderfully funny book.
—James Sallis
LA Times
His characters are haunting. . . . I have rarely enjoyed finding a writer as much as I have enjoyed my own discovery of Jacobs.
—Robert Cromie
Chicago Tribune
He manages to satirize our all-too-human foibles and failures without becoming too blackly unforgiving.
—Thomas M. Disch
Washington Post
Quietly amused, wry approach that gives distinction to Mr. Jacobs' work . . . his dry humor would be hard to improve on.
—Elizabeth Easton
The Saturday Review
A wonderfully engrossing read. . . . I recommend it to everyone who has given up of ever again being entertained at such a high level of aspiration.
—Michael Moorcock
A bawdy, joyous romp . . . it's a wonderful book.
—Jack Dann
Look upon the amazing world of Harvey Jacobs! Come one, come all, for an experience never to be forgotten!
—Fred Chappell
Like Doctorow's Ragtime and George R. R. Martin's Fevre Dream, it's totally realized.
—Howard Waldrop
A great book should aspire (and succeed) in making you laugh, making you cry and just maybe, making you think. . . . Harvey's novels will do all that.
