A marvelous book."-Irvine Welsh, author of Trainspotting and Crime . . . and for Joe Meno "Joe Meno is an interesting case: a punk/noir stylist who can imitate something more rarefied, poetic, and universal."-Elle "Meno is the closest thing [Chicago's] got to a literary ambassador."-GQ "What to make of Joe Meno, whose icepick-sharp books include many elements that might reasonably be described as quirky, but are rather heartfelt, beautifully written and vivid as a bad dream-or a very, very good one?"-Washington Post Express<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>Meno is thinking hard about why the world is the way it is and about where hope for change might reasonably lie.--Jonathan Dee "New York Times Book Review"<br><br>Meno masterfully, and meaningfully, conflates the fantastic with the everyday. . . .
