"Mark Leyner has written the definitive fin de siecle literary biography, a portrait of the artist as a flashbulb-tanned, narcotic-nourished, steroid-swollen, priapic monster. He appropriates the dialectics of high technology, mass-marketing, and pop culture to create a unique and subversive voice. Leyner is a twisted wizard, a genre-busting virtuoso, working at the outer edge of narrative convention." --Jay McInerney (author of Bright Lights, Big City ).
