Reviews

"When I Got Out is an intriguing gem that offers a unique turn on narrative voice and unsettling personal discovery. Peter Seth writes with calm authority, masterful unpredictably, and carefully crafted internal reflection. Delving into this exploration of then and now -- where forty lost years have changed all the rules of engagement -- is to be swept into a tale of moral reflection, irony, betrayal, and impossible choices."--Ken Goldstein

"All the reader has to do is sit back and enjoy the ride."--Laurie Horowitz, author of The Family Fortune

"When I Got Out is a great read: the perfect sequel to What It Was Like."--Stan Chervin, Academy Award nominated screenwriter

"When I Got Out is a sensational novel that never veers off into sensationalism itself. It delves into the mysterious eddies of life and deepens as one wades further into them. Peter Seth shines a black light onto one man's life and helps us see what is hidden in plain sight of not only his, but of our own life as well. This is what great novelists do."--Kevin Sessums, author of Mississippi Sissy and I Left it on the Mountain, and Editor-in-Chief of sessumsMagazine.com
