Advance Praise

Praise for Nicolas Wilson:

"The best comparison I can make is Douglas Adams on Viagra with the Parental Guidance filter turned off. But that doesn't quite do it justice."

"He possesses a dry wit that one finds in an accomplished satirist, and many of his stories dip into samplings of high hyperbolae that only men such as Vonnegut tap into to exploit the absurd and surreal."
Peter L. Ivey, Amazon review of Selected Short Stories Featuring Analog Memory
"...funny and sharp dialogue, very much like `Men Who Stare at Goats' by Jon Ronson."
Cate Agosta, for The Book Nut's Hut, on Dag
