“A feast of whimsy.” — Boston Globe
“There’s plenty of fun to be had with this cerebral novel.” — Publishers Weekly
“Hobson has never been more brilliant, more transcendent, more in touch with the beating human spirit, than he is in The Devil is a Southpaw. No other writer is so continuously reinventing the novel, weaving together Cherokee myth, rock and roll, the supernatural, and his own first published paintings. Perhaps his best novel yet, which is really saying something." — Deb Olin Unferth, author of Barn 8
“Brandon Hobson is a great contemporary American fiction writer—wily, funny, sly, sad, and vast. The Devil is A Southpaw is a welcome addition to his very significant stack. It’s got a little Cervantes in it, and a little Pink Floyd, and a lot of American tragedy. I bet you’ll love it, as I did.” –Rick Moody, author of Hotels of North America
