"Stunning...a glittering book that possesses the staccato ferocity
of Joan Didion and the historical resonance and razzle-dazzle language
of Don DeLillo." Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times
"With only her
second book Dana Spiotta has become, I think, a major American writer."
Bret Easton Ellis
"Brilliant and haunting..." David Thomson, New York Observer
"A terrific novel, which reads like a diary or thriller. To Spiotta,
words are controlled substances, and they make her text shimmer and
vibrate." Laurie Stone, Chicago Tribune

"Marks the debut of a wonderfully gifted writer." Michiko Kakutani,
The New York Times
"The hippest, funniest, most urbane and heartfelt account of life
west of the 101 and north of the 10 to come along in years. Satiric but
not cruel, authentic but not maudlin..." Thomas Curwen, The Los Angeles
Times
"Los Angeles is the air we all breathe in this wonderfully funny,
accomplished, and far-reaching first novel about our consumer colossus
and the human products it makes and shapes." Don DeLillo
