Industry Reviews "Every ten years, maybe, a new voice comes along with a book that you know will outlive the decade. Perhaps the definitive fictional evocation of the Gulf War, James Blinn's first novel...is that book. Along the way to this spectacular debut, Blinn appears to have digested the 20th century's most fiery fictional voices and come roaring through with an individual style to match the dirtiest, angriest and wittiest prose of his generation." San Francisco Chronicle Book Review - Carey Harrison (07/20/1997)
"An antic, abrasively obscene, and extremely noisy first novel....[T]his debut has style and energy..." Lewis
