Wolf

"This heartbreaking story of patricide will move readers with its startling notes of empathy."--Publishers Weekly "Wolf is a horror story, a love story, story of survival, of parenting and of coming of age. It manages to be so many contradictory things by a-newly creating the English language--by making a brand new English that is both alienating and intimate. It is a marvel."--Tiphanie Yanique "There is a reverence in Douglas Martin's writing composed of equal parts language and love."--Dale Peck "Personal when he needs to be and clinical when his investigation calls for it, Martin acts as the perfect counterpoint to Acker's all caps bombast."--Maggie Nelson "Expressing truths that transcend the stolid facts of conventional biography and literary analysis, Douglas A Martin reveals how the act of writing is also, always, an act of self-authorship, of identity destruction and creation."--Astra Taylor
