"Glave's prose is vibrant, and immediate. It carries the reader along as it delves deep into the grim places of the human mind. . . . Putting this book down, I felt I will go back at some point soon and reread, in order to more fully understand and appreciate this beautiful and intriguing look at post-postmodern war fiction."

Praise for Thomas Glave:
"GLAVE'S DISRUPTION OF FORM IS A POWERFUL METAPHOR FOR THE SEXUAL, RACIAL AND GEOPOLITICAL DISJUNCTIONS THE STORIES IN WHOSE SONG? EXPLORE . . . GLAVE IS A GIFTED STYLIST . . . BLESSEDWITH AMBITION, HIS OWN VOICE AND AN IMPRESSIVE WILLINGNESS TO DISSECT HOW INDIVIDUALS ACTUALLY THINK AND BEHAVE."
—NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW
"THOMAS GLAVE WALKS THE PATH OF SUCH GREATS IN AMERICAN LITERATURE AS RICHARD WRIGHT AND JAMES BALDWIN . . . HE CUTS TO THE BONE OF WHAT IT MEANS TO BE BLACK IN AMERICA, WHITE IN AMERICA, GAY IN AMERICA, AND HUMAN IN THE WORLD AT LARGE."
—GLORIA NAYLOR
"WHAT A WRITER! WHAT A BOOK! GLAVE IS A BRILLIANT WRITER OF STARTLINGLY FRESH PROSE . . . HIS STORIES ARE INTRICATE TAPESTRIES OF LIFE RENDERED THROUGH A TRIUMPHANT ACT OF THE IMAGINATION."
—CLARENCE MAJOR
