A Shimmering, Serrated Monster!

“Mark Leyner is one of the great satirists . . . one of the great envelope-pushers of language and ideas  . . . If you read him, you’re going to get a f*$%#&* kick out of him. He’s hardcore, raw, transgressive . . . Read a Mark Leyner book.”—Marc Maron

“You can bring me ten contemporary novels with HILARIOUS! stamped all over their covers and I will show you ten pages of Leyner that are funnier than all of them combined."—Adam Sternbergh, New York Times Magazine

"I laughed out loud in the bathroom."—David Byrne on My Cousin, My Gastroenterologist

“Leyner is the original charged particle, formally inventive, hilariously funny, completely original. Think Beckett on acid. Read this book.”—Darcey Steinke, author of Sister Golden Hair, on Gone With the Mind

“Mark Leyner is a hyperkinetic shaman, supremely original, deliri-ous and synapse-shattering.”—John Cusack

“Mark Leyner is a mad genius, one of the smartest and funniest humans since Aristophanes. A twisted wizard, a genre-busting vir-tuoso, working at the outer edge of narrative convention.”—Jay McInerney

"His books are compulsively readable, created by a literary mind that seems to have no precedent...proving that fiction can be robust, provocative and staggeringly inventive, without for a moment forfeiting entertainment."—Ben Marcus, The New York Times Book Review, on The Sugar Frosted Nutsack
