"[Ellis is] one of the best living writers in America."-BUD SMITH, author of Teenager
"This unapologetic celebration of everything lowbrow might sound unpleasant, but Ellis's humorous and very frank approach make it a beautiful, enjoyable thing."-Electric Literature
"Ellis is the rock and roll king of sad. Most happy people only wish they could be as sardonic, humorous, and at once morose as Ellis. But they can't."-ELLE NASH, author of Deliver Me
"[Ellis's] despair can feel like a performance. He seems to recognize that public persona is a sort of theater, but one with no lobby, no exits. So, when viewing Ellis's work, it's worth asking: is that real blood?"-The Rumpus
"[Ellis is] the literary equivalent of the Replacements."-TROY JAMES WEAVER, author of Selected Stories
