Elliott Baker
'Baker continuously turns laughter into pain, then back again, yet always leaving the wound of truth.' -The New York Times Book Review 'Baker is still the jabberwocky with jaws that bite, tickling the reader into laughter with his left claw while his right one holds a shiv.' -Life Magazine 'A mixture of laughter and tears expressed by a writer of rare discernment and powerful, lucid style.' -Los Angeles Times 'Extraordinarily well-written and shatteringly funny.' -Saturday Review
