"By turns dreamlike and disturbing, Loriga's chilling, concise prose shines a dark spotlight on the modern allure of pharmaceuticals' seeming power to assuage all ills. As a portrayal of narcotic dissipation, the novel ranks with William Burroughs' best." Booklist
"[A] gorgeous, enigmatic new novel....Brilliantly marrying style and story." Andrew Sean Greer, Washington Post Book World
"Wow! If Philip K. Dick and Philip Jose Farmer teamed up with William S. Burroughs, the trio might riff out something like this strange and moving novel....[T]he writing is...pithy and thought-provoking." Jim Hopper, San Diego Union-Tribune
"Ray Loriga is an emerging cult writer whose every page oozes genius." Scotland on Sunday (UK)
"Loriga is set to join that select band of writers — like Michael Houellebecq and Haruki Murakami — who are busy retooling fiction for the twenty-first century." Wayne Burrows, The Big Issue in the North
"Like the rush of an electric guitar riff charging up your spine, Ray Loriga's voice angles, beautifully desperate, to grasp our place in these chaotic times." Lee Ranaldo of Sonic Youth
