Reviews

Like Richard Price and the late, great Elmore Leonard, Matt Burgess is one of those cool, quick and funny writers who can turn a seemingly routine crime caper into something special. - Carl Hiaasen Uncle Janice is a lowdown masterful contribution to Urban American lit, charismatically written with terrific sly humor and a joyous dead-on ear. An addictive read, one of those books you wish would never end. - Richard Price, author of Lush Life and Clockers Uncle Janice is that mythical sixth season of The Wire for which we have all been pining. Yeah, that good. The daily trials and tribulations of one Janice Itwaru -- undercover drug officer, fallen daughter, all around wrong way gal -- in that mythic, urban kingdom known as Queens, make for that rarest of reading experiences: at once comic and enthralling, always surprising, and unexpectedly touching. The eye, ear, voice and heart of this novel are bulletproof. Whoever the hell Matt Burgess is, dude does not sleep for one sentence. Neither will you. - Charles Bock, author of the New York Times Bestselling Beautiful Children This is a terrific novel, because Janice is terrific, a brilliantly realized character. She's strong, vulnerable, funny, maddening--human, and just great. - Roddy Doyle, author of The Guts and Paddy Clarke Ha Ha Ha
