Winner of the Gival Press Novel Award In Riverton Noir, Perry Glasser browbeats high and low brow art into a work of sublime halftone pulp picture printing, shading stuttered shadows with the darker side of your so-called comic book. His pointillistic prose pops like Pop Art, but its as pleasing as all get out in all that it knows and shows.--Michael Martone, author of Four for a Quarter "High school is eternal, someone has said, and Riverton High is high school on steroids, the horniest high school in the history of American fiction. Perry Glasser brings the nitty and the gritty to this novel of exaggeration and ribaldry. Big, vibrant, laugh-out-loud funny, it is also fearless about sex and violence, which in Riverton can seem like the same thing. Dont worry-the novels structure and theme are carefully controlled by 'the Dreamer,' not to mention the laws of modern physics, and Glassers sentences, among such seeming chaos, are marvels of clarity. This should be the authors break-out book."--Kelly Cherry, author of We Can Still Be Friends
