"Dale Peck is what we've been waiting for, a new talent with vast ambitions and a voice like an angel chewing on broken glass. Martin and John launches an important career."--Michael Cunningham
"These are elegant, nightmarish variations on two compressed, mordant themese: love in the time of AIDS and the eternally fragile politics of domestic desire. The somber lyricism, the fresh conception of form, the profoundly human grasp of character all suggest this touchingly young writer will have a great future."--Edmund White
"[Dale Peck's] wisdom about human feelings, his talent for translating those feelings into rose and his sophisticated mastery of literary form all speak to a maturity that belies his twenty-five years. In short, a stunning debut."--Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times Book Review
"Martin and John is one of the more inspired and brilliant novels that deal not only with AIDS but with the grief and bereavement that are inescapably a part of every life."--David Kaufman, The Nation
