About this title

Review:

"If prose were a mind-altering substance, James Salant would be your neighbourhood pusher. Lord knows, the man will make an addict of you" (Koren Zailckas, author of SMASHED: GROWING UP A DRUNK GIRL)

"Normally I hate to tell anyone what to do, or what to think, or read. But I honestly believe every parent should read this book. And every teenager on the verge of a drug trip should read it. And everyone else, too. It's that good, that important" (Dava Sobel, author of LONGITUDE)

"Leaving Dirty Jersey is a harrowing, pitiful account of one guy's demise into full scale addiction and insanity ... Up there with Jim Carroll's The Basketball Diaries for drug rites of passage books" (Blowback Magazine)

"Like watching a car crash, the gruesome details - drug deals gone wrong, violence and seedy motels - make the book compulsive reading" (Big Issue)

"Completely addictive ... brilliant" (Word Magazine)
