Review "From the madhouse, Johnny Truants mother writes some of the most tender, chilling, faux-psychotic writing Ive ever read. This dangerous, lucid, confused but very eloquent lady . . . is playful, apologetic, crazed, paranoid, self-abasing, cunning—a tigress with a gift for gab." —Robert Kelly, The New York Times Book Review "The Whalestoe Letters are dazzling." —Steven Moore, The Washington Post "Danielewski has a songwriters heart." —John Freeman, Time Out New York Review Quote "From the madhouse, Johnny Truants mother writes some of the most tender, chilling, faux-psychotic writing Ive ever read. This dangerous, lucid, confused but very eloquent lady . . . is playful, apologetic, crazed, paranoid, self-abasing, cunning--a tigress with a gift for gab." --Robert Kelly, The New York Times Book Review Details ISBN0375714413 Author Mark Z.
