"Striking and provocative." —Kirkus, starred review
"...a compelling examination of life, art, and the fantastical oddities inherent in both." —Publisher's Weekly, starred review
"McCarty drastically intensifies the interplay between images and words by presenting all of the text in densely packed blocks akin to word clouds, mixing phrases with numbers and tiny drawings to bombard the reader with visual information. These blocks feel like a literalization of the idiom 'a picture says a thousand words.'"—The AV Club
