Acclaim for Attention. Deficit. Disorder.:
"As its title seemed to demand, I found myself skipping about Brad Listi's novel, yanked further in by each random, episodic jewel. They were quirky, evocative and clever... something genuinely different, and defiantly genuine. Then, reading from start to finish, an entirely other experience emerged: a cohesive, poignant story, subsuming warmth and depth, and - again - that unflinching honesty. Overall, it seems I got a lot more than I bargained for. A perfect book about what we and the world are becoming." -Jim Carroll, New York Times Bestselling author of The Basketball Diaries, Void of Course',' Fear of Dreaming, and The Book of Nods
"It's not easy writing lightly about heavy things, but Brad Listi makes it look effortless. A.D.D. is a wild American picaresque." -Stewart O'Nan, The Good Wife, Wish You Were Here, and A Prayer for the Dying.
"In his graceful debut novel, Brad Listi evokes a portrait of grief that is weird and true. At once an adventure and a deep character study, ATTENTION. DEFICIT. DISORDER. is a book you'll want to share." -Owen King, We're All In This Together
