Trade Review
"I like Lautreamont a lot. He taught me how important and how possible it was to write a sentence that is just gorgeous. Actually, I’m about overdue for a rereading of Maldoror I’d like to pick up a few tricks from that book again." -- William T. Vollmann - The Paris Review
"The expression of a revelation so complete it seems to exceed human potential." -- André Breton
