"Grayson is a born storyteller and standup talker...Highly recommended."
--Library Journal
"Grayson's stories are full on insanity, nutty therapists, cancerous relatives, broken homes, fiction workshops, youthful theatricals at Catskill bungalow colonies and the morbid wizardry of telephone answering machines."
--Ivan Gold, New York Times Book Review
"Here is an imaginative and engaging writer who breaks all the conventions of contemporary fiction with a certain devilish relish."
--Robin Hemley, Another Chicago Magazine
"Disingenuous confessions of the writer's ineptitude are suffused with the appealing confessional anxiety of a small-time writer scrabbling against odds."
--Jaimy Gordon, American Book Review
