Review Quotes

"Attention Jeff Goldblum stans (i.e. everyone with a pulse) . . . Christmas gifts are now sorted."
--Literary Hub

"Metatexually dazzling yet absurdly soothing, Helen McClory's The Goldblum Variations will put a dent in your bad vibes. . . . It is not hyperbole to say that [this] is the best book I have read this year. . . . McClory has crafted a very fine, lushly sensitive, gently moving series of portraits of a cultural icon . . . a crushingly excellent display of metatextual prowess that also manages to be uplifting and fun. The Goldblum Variations is the sweetest kind of adventure. McClory's quick read delivers the real thing--even though the thing is totally made up and silly."
--PopMatters
