Recenzii

"He is a visionary posing as a farceur."--Salman Rushdie
 
"[Wagner's The Empty Chair] would make a fine fictional companion to the Trappist monk Thomas Merton's writings on spiritual outrage and the impossibility of solace." --Dani Shapiro, The New York Time Book Review
 
"Bruce Wagner writes really wonderfully about that whole milieu [of Hollywood] and its gothic vanity."--Emma Cline
 
"To say that [Maps to the Stars] deglamorizes the movie business is like saying that Upton Sinclair deglamorized the meat-packing industry... the medium of film allows Wagner to make his audience visualize (instead of merely imagine) the hallucinations that plague his characters." --Francine Prose
 
"Wagner is the James Joyce whose Dublin is Hollywood."--David Cronenberg
 
"[Dead Stars is] A Rabelaisian masterpiece." --Sam Sacks, The Wall Street Journal
 
"Bruce Wagner's stories about Hollywood are the best I've read since F. Scott Fitzgerald and Nathanael West."—Terry Southern
 
"Wagner writes like a wizard. His prose writhes and coruscates."—John Updike
