"In Wilton Barnhardt we have a new novelist who looks around him, a young novelist with a sense of history." --Los Angeles Times "Anyone who came of age during the 1970s will thoroughly identify with and relish Wilton Barnhardt's Show World....Sharp characterizations and deft wit ring as strong as ever in this new book....Eminently memorable." --The Dallas Morning News "Barnhardt, as usual, is thinking big here. [Show World] is simply a good hard look at the world the way it is....It's a cautionary tale to be sure, a reminder to hold tight and hang on." --The New Orleans Times-Picayune "Fast-paced and sardonic, Show World astutely observes the inverted values of its wickedly drawn characters." --Booklist
