"The Whistling Song has the energy and abandon of all great first novels.  At the same time, the story never gets lostin its long bursts of honest, palpitating language.  This book's wild force reminded me of the first time I saw John Malkovich on stage in True West."
                        Jim Carroll

"Stephen Beachy's America -- so fast and freewheeling and dangerous, so full of intoxicated language and pretty lies -- clangs in my head like a firetruck."
                        Bob Shacochis


You can get it new at Amazon and there's also a hard-to-find Japanese version floating out there somewhere.
