“This is the best,
from one of the best writers around. Nick Tosches knows the devil as well as
any man has.”
— Keith Richards
-
“Words and wisdom that
I shall carry with me into the f***ing dirt.”
— Johnny Depp
-
“If there was ever any
doubt that Nick Tosches is the Dark Prince of literary fiction, Me and
the Devil should settle the matter. The single most brain-searingly
dangerous man of letters. Read him at your peril.”
— Anthony Bourdain
-
“Tosches has created
an erotic asphalt odyssey that takes him on a subcutaneous awakening, drifting
through a world of hallucinations, dark secrets, and dangerous desires.”
— Peter Wolf
-
“Another chapter in
Tosches’ unflinchingly perverse literary output.”
— The New Yorker
-
“Brilliantly bizarre…Disturbing
yet compelling, and as such doubly disturbing…But the poignancy of this remarkable
story is about fine lines—between love and hate, pleasure and pain, genius and
madness, good and evil, and, alas, fact and fiction. Not surprisingly, Tosches,
who inserts himself into his fiction, concludes there are no fine lines. But
there are fine books, and for the right reader this is one.”
— USA Today
-
“During his long
career, Toshces has earned a reputation as a writer who doesn’t mess around…Me
and the Devil is Tosches touching his outer limits. It’s a
compulsively readable tale of sadomasochistic obsession and Faustian
misbehavior: a meta-rumination on aging, sex, and the nature of art.”
— Tony O’Neill, BlackBook
-
“A dark narrative that
cleverly blurs the lines between reality and fantasy…Tosches takes readers on
an unpredictable journey through disturbing and erotic desires…Excellent.”
— Booklist
-
“By turns profane,
obscene, perhaps even blasphemous, Tosches’ fictional account of ‘the most
diabolically f***ed-up year of my life’ is like a cross between William S.
Burroughs and J. K. Huysmans.”

An incendiary novel....A blindingly brilliant and joltingly weird work of art.
— Entertainment Weekly
-
Astounding...A staggering work of genius
— Chauncey Mabe, South Florida Sun-Sentinel
-
It's more than a book. It's a living thing. Unbelievable. I read everything by Nick Tosches.... A modern masterpiece. Utterly superior to almost everything published within the last 50 years. I won't bother trying to describe it. Just go get it.
— Johnny Depp
-
Tosches writes like a dark angel.
— Steve Murray, Atlanta Journal-Constitution
-
Splendid, passionate....A strange, wild hybrid of a novel...with a moral fervor far exceeding most novels of better grooming.
— Will Blythe, New York Times Book Review
-
Part hard-boiled crime story, part medieval tale of transcendence.... Tosches's powerful, unruly writing is often beautiful.
— Elizabeth Bukowski, Wall Street Journal
-
A novel that happily breaks every rule it can....The sheer audaciousness of Tosches's writing makes most other fiction seem phony by comparison.
— David Wiegand, San Francisco Chronicle
