"Bhang is a magical book. I loved Fried's journey with Anders and Sylvia, and the strange relation each had with the dead filmmaker Antoine, and the silence that steals over him as though he had just had sex, that unreal place of catching up..."
- Kevin Killian
"If John Cheever had done psychedelics he might have ended up with Bhang."
- Brian Evenson
"Fast hypnotic & heartfelt, Malcolm & Jacksomehow manages to be frenzied and reflective, factual and speculative, all at once. A wild dash through an alternative American history." - George Saunders
