Reviews
“This fun read boasts a likable protagonist, other quirky and interesting characters, and vivid and humorous descriptions of New York while also providing some significant social commentary.”
--Library Journal

“Light's prose is careful, rhythmic, and economic; he deftly uses the weight of one sentence as a pendulum to push forward the next. The result is a style that mirrors, and serves to create, the transformation of Morris Bliss.”
--KGB Lit

“An absorbing modern tale about learning to cope with unexpected adversity.
--Midwest Review
