PROFANE
FRIENDSHIP LOW

"A great modernist project that he alone perhaps has the pertinacity and
brilliance to pursue.… There are times when … one catches one's breath and
is moved to tears by its originality and truth." — Washington Post Book World
"A superlyrical and emotionally charred fictional narrative.… A huge talent, and a revolutionary."
"Some of the most unique and compelling prose found in fiction." "I have thousands of opinions still -- but that is down from millions
-- and, as always, I know nothing." |
