“This is John Ashbery at his wacky best, from long lists that seem to make some sense, to short lists that seem to make no sense, to made-up diary entries. Here we find Joe Brainard's Americana...there's a wonderful, nutty innocence to this book that is found in Brainard's drawings and Ashbery's writing: 'his lips spell out the words: shale, cowturds, spread, udder, mumps.' ”
–John Yau
“Touched with genius.”
–Peter Schjeldahl
