Reviews
Writing this rawly self-conscious has no business captivating you, let alone moving you. That it manages to do it anyway is a testament to Mr. Cody's talent, honesty, and singularity * Jonathan Franzen *
The memoir of the year. It's a sensorium, and a painful one, a book in which the sentences swing into you like small, gleaming axes ... He has a blazing intellect and can really write * New York Times, Books of the Year *
With wordplay and quirky digression it renders a unique and serious story ... Cody does have an extraordinary tale to tell ... A masterclass * Observer *
As artfully constructed as a Tarantino film * New York Times Book Review *
Hilarious and cracklingly intelligent, fully alive and original in every sentence * Guardian, Books of the Year *
