"A writer who does with elan what most writers harrow their soul to do: fill each page with the pure force of his being. dKOOKLYN BOY is the most muted and restrained of his books Rough-hewn and episodic as it is, BROOKLYN BOY strikes me as Leichuk's best book." —Mark Schechner, The Buffalo News
"Leichuk's eloc^uence could give the most complacent Angeleno a major guilt trip. How could we have stolen away the Dodgers from that eacved shrine, that magical homeland of True Believers? With its intriguing overlapping patterns and its endearing questing hero, Leichuk's new work does further enrich that rich body of literature about growing up as a 'Brooklyn boy.'" —Los Angeles Times
"An interesting lineage Whitman Miller Mailer Leichuk. All four writers uphold priapism and sexual frankness; all four tout, in their separate ways, the intensity and varlousness of city life. Within this grouping, the greatest similarity is to be found between Leichuk and Miller. In both we see the same sharp split between the Wayado of the emancipated male and the simplistic and sentimental reverence for the boyhood self [This book is] tender and excruciating." —Sven BIrkerts, The New Republic Vissza
