Review

The Lesser Bohemians is a love story, yes, but it is really an electric and beautiful account of how the walls of self shift and buckle and are rebuilt. - NPR.org"

Praise for THE LESSER BOHEMIANS

-[A] propulsive coming-of-age story... imbued with a captivating sense of youthful excitement and vulnerability.-
--The New Yorker
-The confidence and the capacity are as good as anyone's...there's an openness, an inclusivity, a distinct lack of God-almightyness, that makes reading [McBride] such a pleasure.-
--Jeannette Winterson, New York Times Book Review
