PRAISE FOR ELI VALLEY'S DIASPORA BOY One of the most fascinating and darkly humorous books in living memory. -Los Angeles Review of Books A gorgeous, enormous and important collection. -Haaretz Explosively subversive. -Kirkus His cartoons aren't only raucously funny. They constitute a searing indictment of the moral corruption of organized American Jewish life in our age. -Peter Beinart With great humor, Eli Valley's comic-strips expertly debunk the benighted tribal propaganda that passes for mainstream Jewish thought. As he demonstrates in each of his strips, the struggle for Jewish emancipation is far from over. -Ben Katchor The work is difficult, funny, powerful, mightily subversive, and a testament to the depth of his focus. -Hyperallergic Anyone interested in ongoing debates in the Jewish community, and the political uses of humor, should check out his work, which is smart, talkative and heavily inked. ... Hilarious. -Kent Worcester, The Comics Journal
