It's a wild high-speed ride."" -- Shelf Awareness ""A taut and gritty adventure thriller with a supernatural element."" -- Publishers Weekly ""Although violent, The Dead Run is first-rate entertainment based on a fascinating cultural mashup."" -- Seattle Post-Intelligencer Praise for Adam Mansbach:""Mansbach has a talent for writing full, memorable characters that seem untidy and complex. The prose crackles with insight."" -- San Francisco Chronicle ""Total genius."" -- Jonathan Lethem ""Beautiful, funny, heartbreaking ...Very few writers could have attempted all this. Adam Mansbach succeeds, brilliantly."" -- Boston Globe ""One of the most ambitious, insightful, and daring writers of our generation."" -- Jeff Chang ""Exquisite.
