“Brilliant, easy-to-implement life-changing guidance and classic examples from the careers of our greatest legends. An astonishing tale of…transformation and redemption…authored by the leading therapist of the extraordinarily abled.”
—THE ÜBERMENSCH READER
“If I’d had this book twenty years ago I could’ve saved myself decades of rage, violence, and self-loathing, not to mention a $4 billion judgment against me by the city.”
—CLIFFORD DAVID STINSON, HKA THE BLUE SMASHER
“Were I still at my psychiatric practice and had I not begun my career of mental butchery that led to my incarceration, I would unreservedly recommend this fine volume to all my living patients.”
—MENTON THE DESTROYER
Praise for
MINISTER FAUST
From the Notebooks of Doctor Brain
“Minister Faust’s gleefully surreal approach to story lines, wonderful wordplay, and offbeat, faster-than-a-speeding-bullet wit make [this] a marvelous read.”
—Eden Robinson, author of Monkey Beach
The Coyote Kings of the Space-Age Bachelor Pad
“A joy to read.”
—The Seattle Times
“Minister Faust brings [The Coyote Kings’] world alive in a jumpy, hold-nothing-back style…. Faust anatomizes [the Edmonton setting] with the same loving care Joyce brought to early-twentieth-century Dublin…. Faust’s debut novel is a fresh and stylish entertainment.”
—The New York Times
“Quite simply stunning.”
—Cinescape
“Writes like Kevin Smith as if he’d grown up in an African immigrant neighborhood—just as comic-and pop-culture-obsessed but with a dose of righteous ethnic minority fury.”
—Hollywood Reporter
“Unique.”
—Ebony
“Faust’s novel explodes with exuberant ideas, creepy adventure, intense emotions and linguistic derring-do. Every page is pure pleasure.”
—Montreal Gazette
“I feel quite comfortable in saying that there’s never been a book quite like this one…[which] fairly teems with dark corners…. A stylish, accomplished first novel. Alternately laugh-out-loud funny, deeply tender and downright chilling…Filled with pop culture references, modern philosophy and subtle thoughts on the nature of human relationships. A first-rate novel from all angles; one can only hope it’s the first of many.”
—January magazine
