"Rosson is a talent to be watched." -- Jason Heller, NPR
"A brilliantly haunting tale of forgiveness and redemption even in
the face of abject failure ... Depravity and grace meet in a
powerful, profound, and lavish banquet for the soul." -- Foreword
Reviews (starred review)
"Smoke City was a super cool read that worked for me in a fashion
similar to JG Ballard (whose work I greatly enjoy).It's a blend of
realism and fantasy that flows off the page quite nicely." -- JD
Dehart Reading & Lit Resources
"This book is mad. And I mean that in the best way. I don't think
I've read anything this imaginative or unpredictable in a long
time." -- Infinite Typewriters
"The way in which the different stories come together to form a
cohesive and beautifully absurd plot keeps the reader turning page
after page. This was by no means a mystery but I found myself in a
state of delightful suspense during many parts of the book." -- TRL
Reviews
(4 stars)"This was one of those books that called to me as soon as
I read the blurb. And fortunately,this book was exactly what I was
hoping it would beâstrange, quirky, and offbeat, but also
touching.The characters had depth and unique voices. The writing
was rich." -- Metaphors & Moonlight
(5 stars) - "Rosson's talent is staggering, his craft is
meticulous, and his story is one of the quirkiest, but most
heartfelt I have ever read." -- Dianah Hughley, Bookseller,
Powell's
"A surreal road novel about misfits on a journey to Southern
California . . . An offbeat, strangely satisfying adventure through
a land of (literal) ghosts." -- Kirkus Reviews
