“Inspiring.”—Lorrie Moore, The New York Review of Books
“I couldn’t put it down. This is a compelling marriage of
remembrance and forgiveness, absolution and compassion, cynicism
and understanding.”—Wes Moore, author of The Other Wes Moore
“An unforgettable and intriguing journey . . . Violence, hope,
despair, forgiveness, anger, and living with a disability are
explored both lightly and deeply, humorously and profoundly, and
always honestly.”—Library Journal (starred review)
“An inspirational memoir by a writer who refuses to be defined by
his paralysis, as he comes to terms with the unknown man who shot
him.”—Kirkus Reviews
“Written with passion, honesty, humor, and a stubborn, rebellious
optimism, Dear Marcus is like nothing I’ve ever read. When a bullet
in the back told Jerry McGill not to go on, Jerry went
on—smiling.”—Shalom Auslander, author of Hope: A Tragedy
