"Baker continuously turns laughter into pain, then back again, yet always leaving the wound of truth." -The New York Times Book Review "Baker is still the jabberwocky with jaws that bite, tickling the reader into laughter with his left claw while his right one holds a shiv." -Life Magazine "A mixture of laughter and tears expressed by a writer of rare discernment and powerful, lucid style." -Los Angeles Times "Extraordinarily well-written and shatteringly funny." -Saturday Review
