Recensione

“A fine novel...pointed, wry, observant, and wise. I virtually inhaled it in a single reading.” (Peter Straub)

“An engaging read...Bram’s prose has an evanescent quality that evokes his protagonist’s fading consciousness.” (Bay Area Reporter)

“Bram is, quite simply, the best American gay novelist going.” (LA Gay)

“A glorious read from an intelligent and talented writer, and worthy of a space in your library.” (Frontiers)

“A touching fictional portrait of old Hollywood and of one of the curious geniuses who made it what it was.” (Alan Cheuse in NPR’s All Things Considered)

“Witty, moving, entertaining, and enlightening... one of the most remarkable and satisfying novels to come along in quite some time.” (Island Lifestyle)
