""Fans of Jim Carroll, Eve Babitz and Matthew Specktor will absolutely devour this one. Tanzer blends criticism, memoir and straight-from-the-heart insight with a funny, original, and intellectually soaring voice all his own. I loved this book!""--Jerry Stahl ""A meditation on grief, the complexities of growing older than a long-lost parent, on film as an intergenerational conversation, on the 9-to-5 'straight life' vs. what it (may or may not) take and mean to be an artist.""--Gina Frangello ""A man reckoning with his artistic inspirations and his experiences. May this book encourage other writers to do the same.""--Mike DeCapite
