Reviews

"Williamson is the id of contemporary American letters."
--Jeffrey R. Di Leo
Editor and Publisher, American Book Review

"A confident debut, and an arresting, often harrowing read."
- The London Times.

"Williamson's writing becomes transcendent. His prose cuts loose in torrid rhythms that evoke the peril and exuberence of jazz."
- New York Times
