Critical Reception
- "... a picaresque of inexhaustible comic invention by debut novelist Millard Kaufman, whose dexterous prose swims with Judd's delightfully precocious turns of phrase in Bowl of Cherries." -Entertainment Weekly
- "Kaufman's screwball sensibility, relish for language, gleeful vulgarism and deep sympathy for his characters make this novel an unprecedented joyride." -Publishers Weekly
