Praise for Pete Dexter

“What deepens and darkens [Dexter’s] writing, so that art is the precise word to describe it, is a powerful understanding that character rules, that we live with our weaknesses and die of our strengths.” —John Skow, Time

“One of the greatest American writers... a storyteller who cuts straight to the nerve.” —Scott L. Turow

“Dexter is a writer who cuts to the bone.” —People

“Dexter is a master of colloquial poetry, of moods revealed through gestures and settings.” —Playboy

“Dexter’s strongest suit is his exquisite understanding of the finely meshed engines of greed, appetite, and interest....” — New York Times Book Review
