Nathan Larson: Nathan Larson is best known as an award-winning film music composer, having created the scores for over thirty movies, such as Boys Don't Cry, Dirty Pretty Things, and The Messenger. In the '90s, he was the lead guitarist for the influential prog-punk outfit Shudder to Think. This is his first novel. Larson lives in Harlem, New York City, with his wife and son.
The Dewey Decimal System is clever, inventive, lovingly satiric and
easily one of the most notable debuts of the year.
-- "Bookgasm"
The Dewey Decimal System is proof positive that the private
detective will remain a serious and seriously enjoyable literary
archetype.-- "PopMatters"
Larson's voice is note-perfect in this tour-de-force. When called
for, his clipped, brisk prose expands to the lyrical, adeptly
singing the praises of beautiful women, cockroaches, and rubble.
Reading The Dewey Decimal System transports you to another world,
and although that world is a grim one, you'll be sorry to leave it.
Let's hope that this book isn't a one-off, that poor damaged Dewey
will return to lead us through the ruins on another near-future
adventure.-- "Mystery Scene Magazine"
