“The only thing I’d add is one more band name: Dowager Orgy.”

-Denis Johnson, author of Tree of Smoke

 

“Californium comes alive through its obsession with detail—not simply in how precisely Johnson evokes the era and locale, but in how details are vitally important to every single character.”

-Paul Fuhr, The Live Oak Review
