"Is it possible to write convincingly about the underbelly of life and at the same time tickle the reader? Andrew Winer has done just that--created a Huck Finn for the new century in this wry, poignant, and very dear first novel."
--Elinor Lipman, author of The Inn at Lake Devine
"Winer's take on boyhood, with its attendant spasms of bravado and insecurity, always rings true....[H]is imagery is often arresting and he manages to infuse the various domestic upheavals with a dark, damaged, lyricism that is deeply affecting."
--Publishers Weekly
