From the Inside Flap
"ORANGE LAUGHTER descends from Dostoevsky's NOTES FROM UNDERGROUND by way of Ralph Ellison's INVISIBLE MAN, William Faulkner, and recent popular American music. . . . Ross has a powerful style, a taste for complex organization, and a strong imagination. ORANGE LAUGHTER is a brilliant novel."--Bruce King, World Literature Today
"Chillingly real--raw, naked in its desperation, darting to the edge of sanity and back. Ross has created a powerful story and unforgettable characters."--Grace Fill, Booklist, starred review
"Here is a novel which eloquently addresses our collective quest for a sane center where self and other may endure and thrive. Indeed, this is a story of private correspondences from the glowing regions of heaven and hell, a near-mythic tale which illuminates our dual impulses for connection and isolation, creation and destruction, salvation and damnation."--Jeffrey Renard Allen, author of RAILS UNDER MY BACK
"Ross . . . combines a postmodern stream-of-consciousness narrative of madness with a devastating tale of real-life racial evil. . . . The finely controlled pacing yields an emotional clout as chilling as the times it evokes. Literate and accomplished."--Publishers Weekly
