Philip Perlson

Brilliant on a dizzying number of levels — from the setting, plot and pacing, to the prose, insights into human nature and some of the best dialogue you will ever come across in fiction, TV or film. Heart and humor blend with horror and brutality in a way that doesn’t create even the slightest tone problem in the work. A big heart and deep irony blend seamlessly — and if you can pull that off as a writer, you’re really onto something. Highly, highly recommended.
