Review
"Paul Hornschemeier excels at a sort of cryptic-cute comic that is better read than described. It's a blend of darkness and sharply delineated perfectionism... It's just a stew of stuff that, like the best sketchbooks, offers an intimate invitation to spy on the ramblings of a formidable creative." Byron Kerman
Review
"Starred Review. It's a surprisingly rare thing to find the great comic artist who can not only draw with poetry and beauty, but write like a demon as well...Hornschemeier's skills are nearly as verbal as they are visual, his art encompassing many different styles...But taken together, the work exhibits an instantly recognizable and distinctive panache. The depth of his art truly comes to life in the melancholic squids of text and short fictions studding this collection...Perhaps the intrusion of the journeyman keeps an exquisite volume like this so rewarding and yet grounded." Publishers Weekly
Review
"Hornschemeier avoids the hammering sentimentality and labored connect-all-the-dots obviousness of too much contemporary work, in any media." Jonathan Lethem, author of Motherless Brooklyn
Review
"To breathe even a lungful of fresh air into the autobiographical comics genre is a challenge, but Hornschemeier succeeds. Although the mysterious pull of a place and its stories is never fully explained, the book is made stronger and more memorable by his elliptical approach." The Guardian
