"Katie Lattari writes as if she were one part journalist, one part historian, one part poet, one part comic, another part memoirist-but always a seer, staging... an exceedingly fresh, and ultimately poignant depiction of what it is to be alive today."
Steve Tomasula

"With whimsy, with impact, with grace, with distinctive characters and Voices, Katie Lattari has written a doozy of a debut. Fans of Faulkner, Djuna Barnes, and David Foster Wallace take note."
