Reviews

Remarkably good... Perverse, poetic, odd... It will leave you feeling quite wonderful

'Excellent...This is no headbanging memoir of juvenile depravity, but an unashamed handbook to the sustained pursuit of sex

—— The Times

Consistently clever... genuinely memorable

—— Boston Globe

While each tale is original and complete in itself, a beautiful atmosphere of comic melancholy pervades the whole

—— Esquire

Funny, softhearted and hopeful

—— Los Angeles Times
