Review Quotes

"Sam Pink is one of the most brilliant storytellers alive today; inimitable but also hilarious. I cannot remember the last time I have laughed out loud at a book that was not written by Mr. Pink." - 3AM Magazine

"Pink's work emerged from that time and from the general orbit of that alt-lit crowd, but his talent, originality, humor, and subject matter lifted him above the alt-lit classification and made people like me solid fans. He wasn't writing, like so many alt-lit kids, boring fiction about being bored in an upper-middle-class life and doing boring drugs in a boring bedroom. He was writing- has always been writing- about people on and outside the margins of society." -- Chicago Review of Books

"Reading Sam Pink is entering a world where humor and absurdity constantly collide with depression and the underlying violence/violent urges hidden in everyday life." -- LitReactor
