"Uproarious, unclassifiable. . . exquisitely manic. . . . [Dyer is] assuredly among the funniest writers alive." –
San Francisco Chronicle "A delightfully original book. . . . Dyer's writing brims with offbeat insights that had me chuckling for hours later, or reading aloud to dinner companions." –Tony Horowitz,
The New York Times Book Review "A freewheeling, bawdy, elegant tour of a brilliant mind." –Steve Martin
"An irresistibly funny storyteller, [Dyer] is adept at fiction, essay, and reportage, but happiest when twisting all three into something entirely his own." –
The New Yorker "Utterly unclassifiable. If Hunter S. Thompson, Roland Barthes, Paul Theroux and Sylvia Plath all went on holiday together in the same body, perhaps they could come up with something like it. This is the funniest book I have read for a very long time." –William Shawcross,
