Such a great book. I'm so glad @joshmalerman.bsky.social wrote it, because it's truly special.
I also read a bunch of memoirs this year that were fantastic! Starting with this incredible memoir/origin story of @joshmalerman.bsky.social
and Allison’s relationship. Let me tell you, this was beautiful and their story is so romantic. I adored their story and Josh continues to excel at his craft!

People might say that pre-ordering my book for someone would make for a lousy Christmas present. But! Not only will it gift your loved ones a sizzling piece of neon noir that may well end up chiseled on the tombstone of the American Empire, but it will also reach them about delaying gratification.
A VIOLENT MASTERPIECE takes the neon-soaked world of EVERYBODY KNOWS and irradiates it - an art-pulp epic of blood and sleaze and even hope, set in the American now. A jagged chunk of something huge and heavy that sizzles in the night.
