Media Reviews
"A hilarious, crazed chronicle of the nightmarish world of the junky. Indelible, indecent, sparkling with insight and more fun than a barrel of monkeys on your back." -- Kinky Friedman
"An original, appalling, indelible picture of a man trying to swim and drown at the same time. He has nerve, and more-he has heart, and a language of his own, and a ghastly, riotous humor that burns brightest just as the executioner offers the last cigarette." -- Tobias Wolff
