“This collection of pieces by Mike Sager is just brilliant-- brave, written with soul and beauty, and unflinching in the depiction of a real America that needs to be revealed. Bravo to Sager for being one of the few writers left willing to do it."
--Buzz Bissinger, author of Friday Night Lights

Deviant Behavior, A Novel
“Sager studs his dark D.C. tale with sharp observations and an addictive neo-noir sensibility.”
-- Publishers Weekly
Revenge of the Donut Boys
“Like his journalistic precursors Tom Wolfe and Hunter S. Thompson, Sager writes frenetic, off-kilter pop-sociological profiles of Americans in all their vulgarity and vitality. He writes with flair, but only in the service of an omnivorous curiosity. He defies expectations in pieces that lesser writers would play for satire or sensationalism… a Whitmanesque ode to teeming humanity’s mystical unity.”
--The New York Times Book Review
Scary Monsters and Super Freaks
"I can recognize the truth in these Sager stories-- demoralizing tales about the darkest possible side of wretched humanity."
--Hunter S. Thompson, author, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
