And by recent book reviews, I mean...
















"Sassy, clever, bright, dark, true, and, most importantly, alive. A huge book, and full of goodness." - Ali Smith, author of Booker Prize-shortlisted novels Hotel World and The Accidental

"At once boldly epic and profoundly personal, Kathleen Bryson's Girl on A Stick is a lyrical exploration of love, loss, and the exquisite joys (and pre-fab idiocies) of contemporary culture." - Jennifer Natalya Fink, author of Burn

"RENAISSANCE WOMAN Bryson continues to push the envelope... [Girl on a Stick] is a book that gets right into the blood and guts of a relationship with language that, like its central character, is sassy, knowing, vulnerable and often damn funny... Perhaps it's time too that those who hadn't previously heard of Bryson woke up to this delicious American talent." - GCN magazine

"Bryson uses word puzzles, illustrations, newspaper clippings, and worsening hallucinations to lament the politics of war and to wax lyrical about the best/worst of London's streets. An intelligent, often experimental book from a unique voice ." (four stars) - DIVA magazine

"A furious pace... as twisted as a Rubik's Cube." - GLT (San Diego)
