| “Thomas was a normal, everyday American kid until the age of twelve. That is when it all started. Afflicted by a cruel medical disorder that left him completely hairless, he found people's intolerance of image leads to cruelty. From a happy-go-lucky boy he became a victim; beaten, banished and ridiculed and from there became a monster. Combining painful memories and a vicious wit Thomas tells his story, a wicked self-portrait in The Bends, a rich dark comedy taking the form of a disturbing road movie and a self-help book that will scar you for life." "If you like reading about twisted, depraved, self-hating, low-lifes, you will love this book." "Black comedy at its delicious best." |

| “Enter Daniel Bliss, a classically trained New York actor with one aim in mind: becoming the next Robert De Niro. There is one small problem: No one will hire him. He is stuck performing bit-parts and acting as stand-ins.But then Daniel comes up with a new business venture, one that pays handsomely and keeps him true to his aspirations of becoming a great actor. He starts acting in real-life roles, situations where a trained thespian can fill the void, becoming anything anyone is willing to pay for." "Every actor should own this book." "A reflective masterpiece." |
| “Perhaps the best way to describe just how much this book caught my imagination is to reveal that even almost a year after reading it, there are still scenes that I remember vividly, quotations that I can recall and to confess that I will never think of doughnuts with sprinkles in the same way again.” “Brilliantly written love story captures your thoughts and emotions throughout the whole reading and long after it. The lucid and detailed narration provides multi layered complexity of each character's personality, startling revelations, creative turns of the plot.” “Dramatic and touching, the author does a brilliant job of capturing the reader’s attention and reeling them into the depths of his story telling." |
