Quotes from Reviews:

"Lurid satirical riffs hold up a fun-house mirror to the world in this fantasia ... a wicked caricature of New York scenesters, rage against environmental destruction, religious bigotry ... a redneck Weimar cabaret ... a stew of surrealism ... an alternative universe peopled by cartoonish characters who intermingle across dreamlike episodes that shatter the conventions of time, space and spelling. Bird's caustic levity, exuberant wordplay and arresting imagery make for a bracing read-though it's not for the faint of heart. This raucous avant-garde comedy will sweep you along with its vigor and originality." -- Kirkus Reviews

" ... difficult to categorize ... distinctive, unconventional ... eccentric style ... playful and inventive with language ... some chapters read as over-the-top satire, others appear closer to reality than they might at first seem ... moments of raw poignancy and social commentary ... stark and unexpected imagery ... in-your-face confrontation, forcing the reader to either embrace it or push it away ... bold, humorous, raunchy provocation ... a love-it-or-hate-it affair ... few will come away unaffected ..." -- ForeWord Reviews

"Like the grass over a cesspool, it is vivid, vibrant and virulent, and deceptively so for having been nourished on sewage ... Bird has no desire to be Joe Fiction Guy. This is a Harlequin Romance starring the actual Harlequin -- a demented and cruel prankster ..."-- Travalanche
