"In Heaven Everything is Fine plays many fields. Lists of lit-crit
and rock-and-roll Top Ten hits, headlines, TV news, and ads are
part of the story. DeShell's quirky, bittersweet characters wander
in and out of clubs, bars, and apartments, hungering in a deadpan,
I-don't-care way for a sort of integrity, for a kind of meaning. In
Heaven Everything is Fine is as tender as it is smart."
--Lynne Tillman, author of Haunted Houses and Absence Makes the
Heart
"This is the saddest story deconstucted. As a collage of ill-fated
love triangles, this neo-Pop romance may be for its generation what
Barthelme's Snow White was for the sixties. DeShell's debut is
provocative, compelling, and too smart to be hip--the author is his
own psychosexual and philosophical brat pack."
--Robert Steiner, author of Bathers and Dread
