A rollercoaster ride inside the haunted house of American multi cultural sin and shame. Violent and smart and funny. I am excited by this new writer.”Sherman Alexie

The voice is gold.”Publishers Weekly

Peter Nathaniel Malae is the real deal. He’s like a young Nelson Algren or Richard Wright, one of those writers who can hit with both hands.”Russell Banks

Gives flesh and voice to a Me Generation’ poet of mixed heritage and tortured outlook.”The New York Times Book Review

Malae possesses a prodigious command of the masculine American idiom and its ironies. Paul is that rarest of literary creatures these days: a hard-living, oft-brawling, culturestraddling, foul-mouthed juggernaut, one who’s as liable to throw a punch as he is to break your heart.”Rattawut Lapcharoensap

Compelling . . . [A] deeply felt portrait of an outsider who is appalled by much of what he sees around him in a surreal Silicon Valley populated largely by grotesques. Malae’s writing is . . . filled with allusions and aphorisms that range from Nietzsche to Kerouac to crystal-meth zombies.”Booklist

Malae’s writing is palpably masculine . . . as if you can see the muscles bulging in his arms as he writes.”San Francisco Chronicle

Readers who enjoy . . . Chuck Palahniuk and Bret Easton Ellis should definitely try Malae.”Library Journal
