"I was lucky to hear this author read in an small, upstairs space in a corner of Chicago. I bought the book immediately. It's smart, interesting, arresting.

review of Clown Girl: A Novel:

" "Which on am I?" I drew my left eyebrow in a high, puzzled arch.
"Which what?" Crack reached for her makeup kit. "Bottom or fool?" She pulled out a tiny mirror and put another layer of mascara on her giant fake lashes. She used a special oversized mascara brush for her oversized lashes, carried in a big tube.

The only value of wated time is knowledge. p.295"
