“A mesmerizing tale of family crisis, mental illness, and unfulfilled promise.”
William Grimes
, New York Times
“Creating narrative coherence out of awful accident is, I supposed, a textbook way of dealing with grief... But Dornstein's skill as a writer makes the raw material of his brother's life seem tailor-made for the form he has chosen... It's a compelling, sad, and thoughtful book.”
Nick Hornby
, The Believer
“Dornstein makes his brother into a character whom we feel we've already always known...Whether or not David was a great artist, he was a devastating confessor of love, a love so presciently conveyed that one is left, even secondhand and decades later... dumbfounded"
Carla Blumenkranz
, The Village Voice
WITH HIS FEVERED THOUGHTS
AND PHANTASMAGORICAL DREAMS.
