Remarkably good… Perverse, poetic, odd… It will leave you feeling quite wonderful
Remarkably good… Perverse, poetic, odd… It will leave you feeling quite wonderful * Guardian *
‘Excellent…This is no headbanging memoir of juvenile depravity, but an unashamed handbook to the sustained pursuit of sex * The Times *
Consistently clever… genuinely memorable * Boston Globe *
While each tale is original and complete in itself, a beautiful atmosphere of comic melancholy pervades the whole * Esquire *
Funny, softhearted and hopeful * Los Angeles Times *
