Rezensionen
From the madhouse, Johnny Truant s mother writes some of the most tender, chilling, faux-psychotic writing I ve ever read. This dangerous, lucid, confused but very eloquent lady . . . is playful, apologetic, crazed, paranoid, self-abasing, cunning a tigress with a gift for gab.
Robert Kelly, The New York Times Book Review

The Whalestoe Letters are dazzling.
Steven Moore, The Washington Post

Danielewski has a songwriter s heart.
John Freeman, Time Out New York
