“Goodman’s debut is pyrotechnic, polymathic, and wild as a naked deb on a skateboard.”—Carol Muske-Dukes, Los Angeles Times Book Review“Often amusing, always smart, Famous Americans makes for an impressive debut.”—Carrie Etter, Times Literary Supplement“Famous last words for this terrific book are hard to come by but one such would be ‘Wonderful!’ Loren Goodman has made a veritable masterpiece out of leftover formulae for writing quite other stuff indeed. Famous Americans ismy kind of people.”—Robert Creeley, author of Just in Time, Poems 1984–1994
