Reviews
". . . a striking depiction of small-town America at the dawn of the 21st century." --Kirkus Reviews
". . . Len Joy creates a tight circle with his novel, tying the end back to the beginning. It starts with a Prologue that in an ironic twist of the term 'Prologue' focuses on the end of the book, and we begin to understand the devastation---and the redemption---of living in a small town" --Melissa Gouty, LiteratureLust.com
"Len Joy is a writer with a heart. Learn something from him." --Sasson Magazine
"This is the first Len Joy book I have read but it won't be the last. There's something magical about Joy's writing that keeps the reader hooked to the story unil the end." --Dehka, The Book Decoder
On Everyone Dies Famous: "Len Joy's Everyone Dies Famous is a clear-eyed examination of how we live in an uncertain world. By creating imminently understandable characters and skillfully linking them to a specific landscape, one that is so evocatively described, he shows us all the ways in which we're connected, how fragile those threads are. In clear prose, Joy does real work here. I'm grateful for it." --Kevin Wilson, author of Nothing to See Here
