"Robert Lopez and his writing are original and pure, fearless and hypnotic. He is one of the brave protagonists of American literature." --Michael Kimball, author of Dear Everybody "For a great long while something was broken inside our language. Robert Lopez took what was broken and did something more than simply repair it. He repaired what was broken and broke it again and made it human. Beautiful and ugly and lastingly mortal, our language through Lopez becomes a kind of song. The kind of song we all might sing to bring some laughter from our deathbeds." --David McLendon, Editor of Unsaid |
