Reception A Publishers Weekly review says, "Reminiscent of early Rick Moody or the short stories of Daniel Handler, each of Boudinot's 13 stories is a microcosm of weirdness imbued with imagination and maniacal wit".Publishers Weekly, 6/5/2006, Vol. 253 Issue 23, p29-29, 1/5p. (Book Review) A Kirkus Reviews review says "When Boudinot writes shtick, he's tiresome. When he writes fully developed stories, he's abrasive, thought-provoking and explosively funny".Kirkus Reviews, 6/15/2006, Vol. 74 Issue 12, p588-589, 2p. (Book Review) The book was Publishers Weekly's book of the year.(cover story). Publishers Weekly, 11/6/2006, Vol. 253 Issue 44, p22-30, 8p. (Article)
