Reviews

“Mr. Stevens is an extraordinary writer; he has the kind of voice that is at once deliciously varied and completely specific. A true eavesdropper on humanity, and on teen’s humanity in particular. There is the color of truth in his scenes...he has all the antics and articulation, all the sadness, all the silence and virtuosity of the true clown.”
