Thanks to the New York Times for the thoughtful review of "Damascus". Here's a pull from their review:
"The author's jaunty voice [is] Beat-poet cool...Mohr nails the atmosphere of a San Francisco still breathing in the smoke that lingers from the days of Jim Jones and Dan White, a time when passionate ideologies and personal dysfunction intermingled and combusted."

| This book is pretty out of hand, and I mean that as a total compliment. I want to go out to dinner with Helen DeWitt and pick her mesmerizing brain. She's an utter original, and how often do you really get to say that? | |

| I've dug every book of Dennis' that I've read. This one's especially cool to see him get out of his comfort zone. It's a quick read; treat yourself to it!! | |

A shining and stellar achievement for the good guys of literature. I think a lot of immediate comparison for Mohr is going to be like, Bukowski-meets-whoever, or something - but I think any of those comparisons would be sadly miscalculated. Though...

Finished Some Things That Meant the World to Me, and I just wanted to say I loved it for making me feel a full range of emotions. Beautifully written! Can't wait to read more by you!

I hope "Some Things" is the crazy romp you're looking for :)
I am looking forward to reading Some Things that Meant the World to Me as I am ordering it tonight. I have heard wonderful things about it and lately I have been let down by certain books :( But I truly can't wait to read yours!
Thanks for the request, Joshua, I'd seen your profile via friends' profiles. I'm going to have to fight that 'other' Batman to death soon though.
I want to read your novel sooner (in Indonesian edition) hope our publishers here already make an arrangement for it.

wouldn't life be easier if everyone bought 16 copies of our books?
Hi Joshua, thanks for the friend request and good luck with your new book! It sounds like it would be an enthralling read; I've put it on my 'to-read' shelf
Hi Joshua,Thanks for befriending this fellow author, and I think everyone should buy 16 or 17 copies of my mystery novel, A REAL BASKET CASE, too! Good luck on your upcoming release.
