This is "a purse-book of breath from dead places, of gutters that run through paradise and gods who dwell in madness, of ancient wisdoms and ancient rhythms come back to town in kid-mohair britches.

Washington Post "Nick Tosches is a beautiful thug [who] has always beaten back a demon while inhabiting the very soul of the beast."

Jerry Stahl "A writer of rare humanity." GQ "[Tosches writes] without illusion and yet with real sympathy, call it a form of love. That is a real achievement of writing and feeling." David Remnick
