praise

“A very fine novel . . . written with flashy, pop-culture inventiveness. . . . Nevertheless, this book reminds one of nothing so much as Hawthorne.” —The Des Moines Register

“Talking Heads: 77 manages to be both cutting-edge innovative and splendidly readable… a flat-out delight.” — Robert Olen Butler, winner of the Pulitzer Prize

 “Domini manages to say much about the truth, media, and society . . . unloads smart observations . . . in a smartly-told story . . . with elements of mystery and suspense.” —The Valdosta Daily Times
