Pulphead

The ghost of Mark Twain is evoked in this outstanding collection of essays * Sunday Times *
Pulphead is a big, fat, frequently exhilarating collection * Guardian *
Pulphead has a ramshackle loquacity, a down-home hyper-eloquence and an off-the-wallishness that is quite distinct - and highly addictive – Goeff Dyer
The best, and most important collection of magazine writing since David Foster Wallace’s A Supposedly Fun Thing I’ll Never Do Again * New York Times Book Review *
From prehistoric caves to Axl Rose’s oxygen chamber, Sullivan’s generous, witty voice lights up every page – Joe Dunthorne
The most involving collection of essays to appear in many a year * Harper’s Baazar *
I was totally blown away by this collection of the new new new journalism, or however many “news” we’re up to these days. I think I like it as much – at times, even more – than Foster Wallace’s A Supposedly Fun Thing I’ll Never do Again. And that, for me, is saying a lot – (interview with) Zadie Smith * Foyles website *
The best non-fiction… whether he’s writing about the southern literary tradition or smoking pot in Disneyland, the man is astute, funny and wonderful company – Nick Laird * Guardian *
The essay collection continues to thrive; of the many I came across this year, the best … [included] Pulphead – Leo Robson * New Statesman *
Magnificent … elegant, engaged and full of feeling… I’ve lost count of the number of people I’ve pressed it on – Olivia Laing * New Statesman *
