Reviews
"A biting critique of identity that lampoons genetic ties and ethnic stereotypes... The increasing tension and outlandishness of Stephens' work lends itself to a poignant take on the topic of family." -Kirkus Reviews
"Peppered with moments of political satire and heartfelt introspection, Stephens's novel also offers a fun-house depiction of the absurdities and horrors of the surveillance state. This is an excellent debut." -Publishers Weekly
