"Much like the churning angst suggested in an El Greco sky or the sudden clarity accompanying (if lucky enough) a mid-morning evacuation, A Portrait of Yo Mama As a Young Man earns our trust, applause, and perhaps more importantly, our non-hard-earned dollar.  Be careful-- contents inside have been deemed... funny!"

-- DAVID CROSS

"Edgy and hilarious."

--PEOPLE MAGAZINE

"Not your average James Joyce autobiographical novel/snaps send-up. Andrew Barlow and Kent Roberts have done it again!"

--CAROL KOLB, EDITOR-IN-CHIEF, THE ONION

"This is a book that transcends the humor genre. It almost begs to be called experimental. It goes from bizarre to downright scathing--often in the same sentence. Don't ignore this ambitious treasure of abuse. "

--KEVIN SAMPSELL, AUTHOR OF BEAUTIFUL BLEMISH

"Humor books are a dime a dozen. Funny humor books are much more precious: a dime a half-dozen, absolute max. And high-concept funny humor books that include charts and graphs, family trees, Mad Libs, and even a standardized assessment test? I'm not sure I have ever seen one. Oh, wait. I have. This is it. Now you have seen it, too. Now buy it and laugh until milk comes out of yo mama's nose."

--BEN GREENMAN, AUTHOR OF SUPERBAD AND SUPERWORSE
