Review:
"Jim Tully was one of the fine American novelists to emerge in the 1920s and '30s. He gained this position with intelligence, sensitivity, and hard work.... No matter how crazily violent or fantastic his stories are, readers accept them as nonfiction. Tully makes the improbable seem true." -- Harvey Pekar
