“A comic masterpiece of tragic proportions . . . a visionary novel. Only one other writer has Mark Jacobson’s ability to spin a yarn at the speed of light: Pynchon.” –Los Angeles Times Book Review
“Profoundly strange, often hilarious . . . an impressive debut.” –The New York Times
“One of the oddest and perhaps the best-monster books ever written.” –Arthur Salm, The San Diego Tribune
“A gorgeous invention: beneath its armor of raucous wit is a sweet-souled tale of innocents abroad in a terrible world.” –Mirabella
“If God had a sense of humor, Gojiro would be the bible. Gojiro is destined for cult immortality. This is Candide for the post-Hiroshima age, a cure for the terror of pink-tailed nuclei. The B flick collides with Stephen Hawking to produce this tender, funny, chaotic tale of a monster and his boy.” –Katherine Dunn, author of Geek Love
