Praise for...

“A perverted miracle. A metafictional fever dream. A tragicomic jeremiad. I don’t know what the hell this book is, but I loved it.”
—Sebastian Crane, author of American Gomorrah

“Like being trapped in a sex dungeon with a fallen intellectual who won’t shut up about Moby-Dick. Hilarious, uncomfortable, and sneakily profound.”
—Patrician Dworkin, author of American Scream

"Reading The Dick is like watching an ambitious objet d'art sweatily trying to jam its limp themes up its own fiercely clenched orifices. But every terrible choice Whacker makes is somehow corrected, made faultless, by an even worse choice. In the end, Whacker emerges as a new Melville who finally yanks the dick out of Moby-Dick--by which I mean the great white dick of colonialism, racism, and patriarchal oppression, leaving an objet d'art that is not violent, white, and phallic, but peaceful, brown, and labial. " Dr. T. Snyder, author of Chode: The T. Snyder Story

“I’ve never read anything like The Dick—which might be a compliment or a cry for help. It’s obscene, sophisticated, and somehow lovely beneath the filth.”
—Delilah Ferrow, author of Sad Girls with Lasers

“A Confederacy of Dunces meets Infinite Jest in a back alley behind Pornhub—equal parts grotesque carnival and tragic lament. Outrageous, erudite, and impossible to unread.”
—Anonymous

“A grotesque, hilarious, and oddly moving descent into the septic tank of American culture. The Dick is what happens when a serious mind takes porn way too seriously—and then not seriously at all.”
—L.M. Sparr, author of The Anxieties of Influence

“I didn’t want to like this book. Then I read it. Now I feel unclean—and a little grateful.”
—Zadie Thorne, author of Nothing Is Sacred and That’s Okay

“A wild, heady collision of literary ambition and XXX absurdity. If Melville had written Boogie Nights, it might read something like this.”
--Rico Dalton, staff writer, The American Fabulist

“This book is disgusting. It’s also the most intellectually honest take on American sexuality I’ve read in years. I laughed. I winced. I underlined.”
——Colin Brash, editor-at-large, Canker Press
