"The ghost of Mark Twain is evoked in this outstanding collection of essays" Sunday Times "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
