 Praise for First Consonants

 

 

"A compelling, at times relentless novel that gives the term antihero a brand-new spin."

 

—Felice Picano, author of Like People in HistoryThe Book of Lies, and Onyx

"A flame of rage burns at the core of Brian Moriarty, ignited by a traumatic birth and fueled by a lifetime of debasement and abuse because Brian stutters. Treat's First Consonants is incendiary, placing the reader in thefurious heart of Brian's world. As we may decry his actions, we cannot help but want a balm for him, a cool soothing of hisimplacable ire, lest it consume and reduce him to ash."

—Terry Wolverton, the author of Stealing Angel

 

First Consonants touches on the origins of violence, of love, and what it means to find one's way through the maze that is the world. Here is a story that is engrossing, vulnerable and wise in a way that few books are these days."

 

—Jim Krusoe, author of The Sleep Garden

 

"Written in ludic, kinetic prose, at turns beautiful and harrowing, it has an expansiveness and ethical import that is rare."

 

—Alistair McCartney, author of The Disintegrations
