I found myself racing along, utterly caught up in the momentum of the story and eager to find out how it would turn out . . . Mr. Harrison's perceptions are jagged and cutting . . . a remarkably well-plotted story. Christopher Lehmann-Haupt, The New York Times A singular joy to read. Harry Crews One of the very best fiction writers in America. Playboy Jack Kerouac's highway hopes claimed by studded tires! . . . What amazes here is the fact that Harrison never lets up from chemical high to emotional plunge, one disconnected cry after another. For those who enjoy driving without a steering wheel, this book is a must. Fiction International
