Reviews
""Perforated Heart" is the grown-up version of "Next Stop Greenwich Village". It is, in alternating sections, the story of a young literary lion's fierce ambition and of the same lion in late middle-age, still dangerous, still jealous of rivals, but startling himself with the long look back and the not-so-long look ahead. In this novel Bogosian says things about ambition and energy that very few dare to -- or are in a position to. It is completely engrossing. On fire from beginning to end." -- John Casey, author of National Book Award winner "Spartina"
""Perforated Heart" is overflowing with insight and pain and it cuts with thrilling truth. Eric Bogosian was the first and remains the best at digging deep and fearlessly into the American male's heart of darkness." -- Neil LaBute
"Eric Bogosian has an ear for the way Americans talk. He also has an entertaining knack for exposing the appalling yet hilarious way American men think." -- Sarah Vowell, author of "The Wordy Shipmates" and "Assassination Vacation"
"[Bogosian's character] summons up memories of his potent, everything-possible youth. The narrative switches back and forth from the present day to the seventies, years that Morris filled with every imaginable excess of sex and drugs. Bogosian handles this rapid backward-and-forward deftly, his prose flowing smoothly and vividly, and his characters lively." -- "Booklist"
