PRAISE AND REVIEWS
Literary Hub
Appropriation and racial confusion themselves become motifs; the book reads like the nightmare of a person having an extreme identity crisis.

FROM THE BOOK
"We didn't have many customers this evening, and the band was playing a bit sluggishly, as is always the case eon nights like these. It was all the same to me. The fewer people the better. Having to toss out half a dozen guys a night, in a more or less orderly fashion to boot, well, in the long run it can end up being a real drag. In the beginning I liked it." —Excerpted from The Dead All Have The Same Skin.
