Reviews

"[Stevens] shows them drinking, smoking, sleeping, waking, blundering about the apartment, waiting for buses, partying, playing in bands, in parks and on beaches, and talk-talk-talking or think-think-thinking--just about everything except working. In all this, a lot of unintentionally hilarious things are said or thought." - Ray Olson, Booklist
