Here are what people are saying about the novel:

"The perfect blend of dystopia and the hard-boiled shamus. It's great to know that there are still debut novels coming through the pipe that can knock me on my ass. With The Dewey Decimal System, Nathan Larson has announced his arrival with style and clarity. I'll be first in line for his second novel, and his twentieth."

--Victor Gischler, author of The Pistol Poets

"The Dewey Decimal System is a brilliant and compelling read, and Dewey is a unique protagonist: tough, resilient, smart... and, well, nuts--but in the best possible way. We should all be so crazy."

--Robert Ferrigno, author of Heart of the Assassin

Like Motherless Brooklyn dosed with Charlie Huston, Nathan Larson's delirious and haunting The Dewey Decimal System tips its hat, smartly, to everything from Philip K. Dick's dystopias to Chester Himes's grand guignol Harlem novels, while also managing to be utterly fresh, inventive, and affecting all on its own."

--Megan Abbott, Edgar-winning author of The End of Everything

"Nathan Larson's Dewey Decimal is a combination like no other--in a dystopian landscape, he's discursive, loves dissing fools, dissecting language and violence, and has a hell of a system. He's like Walter Mosley's sometime L.A. hit man Mouse, but with Chester Himes and Jerome Charyn threaded in. This novel is a love song to New York's streets and boroughs and people, even when they're decimated, and Larson's 'postracial' character, a mutt for all times, is someone I'd follow over and over again through whatever secret paths he finds in this world."

--Susan Straight, author of A Million Nightingales
