"Mirroring the unrelenting pace of Manhattan and city life in general, Joy Boy struggles to keep his love as his world spins uncontrollably . . .  Think MTV’s Real World on lithium and you begin to get an idea of what this exciting first novel is made of . . . An infectious romp guaranteed to entertain." -- Bookshop Santa Cruz "Somewhere between our ever-extending, post-adolescent existence and having a life, lies a burlesque netherworld. It is called Joy Boy's Chasm, and I have never before known it to be so damn funny." -- Young Werther "A zany, uproarious romp through the streets of Manhattan. Joy Boy’s Chasm will have you laughing out loud, and shaking your head in disbelief!" -- The Fruit Stand Guy "An unlikely cast -- North meets South, and you won't believe what happens." -- The Old Man on the Corner
