Offering readers the best in quality literature
“A gossipy, raunchy memoir… Sex looms large in lively episodic chapters as Gaines recounts the gritty ambience of New York in the 1970s. At Max’s Kansas City, the Factory, and Studio 54, he cavorted with characters that led to his unlikely—and ultimately successful—career as a writer.”
—Kirkus Reviews
“Full of grit and atmosphere, suspense and feeling—a powerful and promising debut.”

“Shying away from villains and heroes, the novel creates sympathy for a spectrum of individuals trapped by tribalism, land grabs, heartless government actions, and economics. A book to read right now.”
― Kirkus Reviews
“Newman has a gift for jumping gracefully from one point of view to another and revealing the connections between multiple characters . . . artful . . . sinuous . . . intriguing.”
― Publishers Weekly
“The best short story writer you’ve never heard of.”
