Joey Comeau is the author of "One Bloody Thing After Another," "Overqualified," and" It's Too Late to Say I'm Sorry," as well as the popular web comic "A Softer World." He lives in Toronto.
"The Complete Lockpick Pornography is an engaging,
occasionally moving, and consistently well-written item--both for
fans already familiar with Comeau's A Softer World comics and those
encountering him for the first time." -- Broken Pencil
"[Comeau] has a well-deserved reputation for cheerfully deranged
work, borne out by this pair of thematically linked stories." --
Publishers Weekly
"Comeau holds membership with a tiny group of envelope-pushing
Canadian writers who challenge what we collectively view as worthy
and acceptable subject matter in our literature and ... has an
unparalleled knack for finding the sweet sadness and rare humour in
common pain, in the painfully commonplace." -- Quill &
Quire
"Comeau is unmistakably a provocateur, though his literary
ambitions extend beyond simple provocation... The Complete
Lockpick Pornography, a collection of two thematically linked
novellas, is both gleefully and constructively subversive." --
Winnipeg Review
"The best parts of Toronto-based writer Joey Comeau's stories in
The Complete Lockpick Pornography are his surprising yet
compassionate endings...Both endings leave you reconsidering
notions of violence, gender, sexuality and prejudice that surround
us everyday." -- The Coast
