"Quirky. . . [an] enjoyable farce"--Publishers Weekly
"The Haircutter is a wild story of love, obsession, and art. These endearingly weird characters careen from the Wyoming of dive bars and cowboy car washes to the New York gallery scene and back again. Dana Thompson's story of true love, accidental fame, art world pretensions, and a little murder is told with deft comedic confidence. It’s unforgettable!"--Eileen Curtright, author of The Burned Bridges of Ward, Nebraska
"Dana Thompson's The Haircutter is wickedly clever--and, at times, just plain wicked. At turns hilarious and horrific, Thompson's debut is thrillingly subversive, satirizing the highfalutin art scene of New York City as well as the stereotypical 'eccentric misanthrope' character who often hails from the small town--told in prose so unexpected and surreal that it probably should be written in neon."--Nick White, author of How to Survive a Summer
"Yes, The Haircutter is a vivid hillbilly romp through 21st century New York, and yes, ten times yes, The Haircutter is funny. But what struck me most was the uniqueness of its voice: touching, hallucinatory, and above all, irreverent. No one else writes like Dana Thompson. No one can."--Albert Alla, author of Black Chalk
"At once hallucinatory and down-home, raunchy and high-concept, smothered in blood and full of giddy glee, Dana Thompson's The Haircutter comes at you like a bolt from out of nowhere, flowing with relentless, incandescent style. Here's one that will inadvertently knock your head off while trying to tickle you to death."--Blake Butler, author of Nothing, and Scorch Atlas
