Recenzii
"Beautifully lyrical storytelling under a banner of gray skies and heavy hearts; one gorgeous, epic reminder than no matter what skeletons we have in our closet, we all try our best and our hardest to do well by the ones we love—as Morrissey has sung: 'That's how people grow up.'" —Dan Kennedy, Host of The Moth Storytelling Podcast, author of ROCK ON: An Office Power Ballad
"Although perfectly charming as picaresque, the tragedy of Unger’s plight registers just as strongly as its understated oddness . . . Wieringa plays for keeps." —Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"The poet Philip Larkin’s famous observation that your mom and dad really mess you up is aptly illustrated in this offbeat, atmospheric novel . . . [a] haunting book." —Kirkus Reviews
"A potent, emotionally moving, beautifully realized novel about a young man seeking to understand his difficult, eccentric parents. . . . Wieringa masterfully examines the complex and often agonizing work that many of us undertake to live our own healthy, independent, adult lives." —Library Journal
"Tommy Wieringa’s inventive coming-of-age novel [involves] deeply flawed characters, maddening in their poor choices, but in Wieringa’s nimble hands, they elicit our sympathy." —Cleveland Plain Dealer
"Tommy Wieringa's ambitious novel is a brilliant exploration of the uneasy transition from adolescence into adulthood—the restlessness, yearning for stability, irrational decisions and erotic obsessions." —The Independent (UK)
