Praise for Ultraluminous

"Startling, poignant, raw . . . The success of Faw's seismic story lies in a protagonist who, however improbably her life, is dynamic, true, and ultimately her own savior. Daring and original." --Katharine Uhrich, Booklist

"Faw's second novel (after Young God) pulses with an irresistible voice and the sense of impending catastrophe . . . Faw's writing is raw . . . an exceptionally clear and memorable prose style." --Publishers Weekly

Praise for Young God

"Badass." --Vanity Fair

"Addictive." --Jeva Lange, Vice

"Seductive . . . Reading [Young God] is like having a bottle rocket go off in your hands." --Lisa Shea, Elle

"A powerful portrait of humanity in the face of everyday atrocity . . . It's a quick read but likely to leave even the sturdiest stunned." --Eimear McBride, The Guardian

"Invoking the dysfunctional families and bleak landscapes of Flannery O'Connor, William Faulkner, and Dorothy Allison . . . Young God is boundary-pushing fiction at its best." --Julie Hakim Azzam, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

"Sweet Jesus is Young God terrifying and great. Katherine Faw Morris's style is singular and ferocious and Nikki is one of the toughest, most electrifying, most unforgettable heroines I have ever encountered on the page. This is a furious blaze of a book that will rough you up and reorder your sense of the world and what's possible in it. It's a debut for the ages. Read it." --Laura van den Berg, author of The Isle of Youth

"Radical, and at times shocking . . . An altogether remarkable debut." --Peter Carty, Financial Times

"Like a bullet, like a bolt of lightning, like a speeding car, this debut novel goes faster and harder than anything you're likely to read this year." --Stacey D'Erasmo, author of The Art of Intimacy

"Katherine Faw Morris delivers a brassknuckled gut-punch." --Alex Houston, Newcity Lit

"Poetic, grim, and beautifully dark . . . Morris writes with splendid economy, chapters short as contests, and plenty of slashing insights on the rough world of throwaway lives and varieties of wrong." --Daniel Woodrell, author of Winter's Bone
