"I wouldn't have thought it could be done."
--Ronald Sukenick
"Matt Roberson's 1998.6 is a funny and intelligent avant-pop
appropriation and recapitulation of Ronald Sukenick's landmark
innovation from the seventies. The result is an extraordinary
exploration about how everything and nothing has changed."
--Lance Olsen
"Trying to successfully bring off a novel-length homage to a work
as formally audacious, influential, and truly peculiar as Ronald
Sukenick's mid-seventies avant-pop masterpiece, 98.6, would seem to
be a task best undertaken by writers who are either fools or
fearless major talents. Fortunately Matthew Roberson clearly
belongs to the second category. "
--Larry McCaffery
