(from Publisher's Weekly):
Starred Review. Evison's debut—of love and loss, growing up, throwing up and moving on—is a stunner. William Miller Jr. is a scrawny loner whose mother dies of cancer when he is seven years old, leaving him an awkward vegetarian with an ominously macho father and idiot twin brothers in mid-1970s Santa Monica.

Evison provides readers a viciously funny and deeply felt portrayal of a blended family and one man's thwarted longing.

That's my kind of literary madness! So great to be able to rub shoulders with such successful local artists. I hear he's already got another book ready to hit the shelves and some movies in the works. Can't wait to bend this guy's ear on how to get my book on the shelf next to his. See you all there.
