PRAISE FORABLUTIONS: "… dark and provocative … deWitt has painted a portrait of the human condition … And ABLUTIONS has achieved something remarkable." --The New York Times Book Review"… deWitt's writing is sharp and bitter and funny … " --Los Angeles Times"DeWitt's dirty realism makes me want to roll in the mud with him. Brilliant." --Gary Shteyngart, author ofAbsurdistan "Viciously hilarious … deWitt's portrayal of the drinking life is staunchly unromantic." --Time Out New York(Five stars; Book of the day)"These scenes are stunningly depicted … deWitt writes beautifully about ugliness, and his book casts a haunting spell." --Booklist"DeWitt's style of prose is refreshing and more like real life speak than most books, without losing the necessary descriptiveness to relay the feel and pure nuttiness of the situation inside the Hollywood bar where the scenes are set." --About.com"Ablutions is like an intense art-house movie, where the lead actor is in every scene but makes the whole thing sparkle with his star power." --The Oregonian"Ablutionsis funny and precarious, a novel that shifts the ground under the reader's feet, a naked-lightbulb self-examination that doesn't shy from high comedy. DeWitt has a gimlet eye and a dead aim with words."-- Luc Sante, author ofLow Life "Patrick deWitt's writing is deeply charismatic -- a coiled ramble of note perfect sentences, mysterious and burbling declarative tones, the saddest humor imaginable, and the strange physical proportions of a magician's top hat. I was equally taken aback by the needling brilliance that surfaces at its every turn and riveted by the brains and heart it must have taken to finesse such a clearly broken down yet perfectly clear and penetrating world. I love this novel very much." -- Dennis Cooper "Patrick deWitt is the 21st century poet of Hollywood's desperate souls, the misbegotten, broken, and the lost. He writes with a fierce compassion about people treading the vague boundary between homicide and self-destruction, loveless sex and sexless love, all lined up and looking into our own culturally shared abyss. Beware, beware. But readAblutions." --Chris Offutt, author of No Heroes: A Memoir of Coming Home "Ablutionsis a novel about the deteriorating health of our livers and the malaise of our dreams. Perverse in its humor, but ultimately about our potential for redemption, it's riotously funny and cripplingly sad all at the same time. Patrick DeWitt takes on our diseases and depravity with prose that may yet rescue us from the gutter." -- Salvador Plascencia, author ofThe People of Paper PRAISE FOR PATRICK DEWITT "A hypnotic cross between Lorrie Moore and Denis Johnson."-SeattleWeekly "Something truly fresh, something that gave me a reading experience as shivery and enlivening as I've had in a long time."-Dennis Cooper, author ofCloser, The Sluts,andGod Jr., Something truly fresh, something that gave me a reading experience as shivery and enlivening as I've had in a long time., PRAISE FOR ABLUTIONS: "... dark and provocative ... deWitt has painted a portrait of the human condition ...
