Pulphead

Pulphead is a big, fat, frequently exhilarating collection

Guardian

Pulphead has a ramshackle loquacity, a down-home hyper-eloquence and an off-the-wallishness that is quite distinct - and highly addictive

Goeff Dyer

The best, and most important collection of magazine writing since David Foster Wallace's A Supposedly Fun Thing I'll Never Do Again

New York Times Book Review

From prehistoric caves to Axl Rose's oxygen chamber, Sullivan's generous, witty voice lights up every page

Joe Dunthorne

The most involving collection of essays to appear in many a year

Harper's Baazar

I was totally blown away by this collection of the new new new journalism, or however many "news" we’re up to these days. I think I like it as much – at times, even more – than Foster Wallace’s A Supposedly Fun Thing I’ll Never do Again. And that, for me, is saying a lot

(interview with) Zadie Smith, Foyles website

The best non-fiction... whether he’s writing about the southern literary tradition or smoking pot in Disneyland, the man is astute, funny and wonderful company

Nick Laird, Guardian

The essay collection continues to thrive; of the many I came across this year, the best ... [included] Pulphead

Leo Robson, New Statesman

Magnificent ... elegant, engaged and full of feeling... I’ve lost count of the number of people I’ve pressed it on

Olivia Laing, New Statesman
