Industry Reviews
"O.K. YOU MUGS isn't telling a tidy story, and personally I'm grateful for its breadth. I'd love to see O.K. YOU MUGS turn into an open-ended series."
Lethem

"The twenty-six essays in this varied and sometimes quirky collection grapple with the question of the actor and the actor's role--especially that of the character who, even more than the star, becomes such an archetype that, although we don't always know the actor's name, we immediately recognize him or her in the black-and-white photograph that accompanies each of the essays."
New York Review of Science Fiction - Janet Fitch (01/01/2000)
