Overview

Praise for About Face:

“William Giraldi has achieved here the near-impossible: he has written a dark satire that is as deeply entertaining as it is thought-provoking. About Face is not only the most enjoyable book I have read in years, but also a profound meditation on fame and the attendant harm it can inflict on the very gifts that create it. This is a truly superb novel, and I cannot recommend it highly enough.”
 —Andre Dubus III

Praise for William Giraldi:

“William Giraldi is a literature-besotted Midas of prose: within its own purpose, every sentence gleams. And beyond this, whatever the shape of his subject, the soul of his subject is the strenuous daring of art.”
 —Cynthia Ozick

“You simply never want Giraldi’s voice to go away.”
 —André Aciman

“Giraldi writes prose that singes as it sings, that never falters in its riveting narrative.”
 —Lauren Slater

“One of our most important young chroniclers of anguish and bliss.”
 —Sven Birkerts

“William Giraldi ought to be cloned. In a literary world that grows more hermetic and enfeebled by the year . . . Giraldi can count himself among a dauntless few who still cling to what increasingly feels like a hopeless, romantic notion: that language not only matters, but is worth (metaphorical) bloodletting.”
 —Michael Lokesson, Los Angeles Review of Books

“Giraldi writes with force and precision and grace.”
 —John Wilwol, New York Times Book Review
