Review:
"An absorbing, irritating, and terribly amusing book, that brings to American humor a new and disturbing voice." (San Francisco Chronicle)
"His style and wit transmit so much energy that energy itself becomes the message. Brautigan . . . makes all the senses breathe. Only a hedonist could cram so much life onto a single page" (Newsweek)
"A truly marvellous book. It's like watching one of the great American sitcoms of the past few years" (Gordon Legge)
"He writes with a kind of free-wheeling, zany magic" (Guardian)
"An amazing story... You'll feel better about the whole world after reading this" (Los Angeles Examiner)
