Neda Aria
“I am the revolution. I am a social change!”
Neda Aria, Feminomaniacs

Gary J.  Shipley
“Hey Boy' [by A. W. W. Bremont] is a fever dream of a novel of a sentence. Loopy, depraved, literate in its illiteracies, fiercely cruel and facile, wonderfully unhinged. Reads like Andrew Cunanan's lobotomized nightmares filtered through Delany's 'Hogg'.”
Gary J. Shipley
