PRAISE

If You Lived Here You’d Already Be Home

“You may think you’ve read enough stories about penniless gay clowns who can’t get over the loss of a dog, but—I assure you—you have not. John Jodzio is the best kind of modern fiction writer: a thematic traditionalist who feels totally new.”

—Chuck Klosterman, author of Sex, Drugs, and Cocoa Puffs

“John Jodzio’s wonderful collection, If You Lived Here You’d Already Be Home, is a set of colorful and seemingly fractured tales, each shining brilliantly alone, but also growing more vibrant as one story lays over another. Together they form an intricately stained glass window that looks out onto a whole new world.”

—Hannah Tinti, author of The Good Thief

Get In If You Want to Live

“Get In If You Want to Live is lovely and captivating. Every page looks great.”

—Fred Armisen, Saturday Night Live and Portlandia

“John Jodzio is one of those weirdos that is fun to spend time with—not in real life, of course, but on the page—because his stories are laugh-out-loud funny and have a strange, uncanny, and memorable edge to them. And even if you don’t like to read, his book has cool pictures. It was totally worth the $200 I paid for it.”

—Dan Chaon, author of Await Your Reply

“Get In If You Want to Live is full of genuine laughs for the LOL generation. It’s fantastical whimsy meets potty-mouth, gutter-mind brilliance with some beautifully twisted artwork to accompany poignantly filthy stories.”

—Kat George, Thought Catalog
