"Addictive, informative, heartbreaking and utterly satisfying."

-Janet Fitch, author of White Oleander and Paint It Black

"Confessions of a Teenage Jesus Jerk is astonishing and hilarious, evoking shades of John Kennedy Toole and C.D. Payne. Tony DuShane has a sharp, new voice that's sure to be noticed; I have no doubt he'll garner fans fast."

-Katie Crouch, author of Girls in Trucks and Men and Dogs

"Watch out Armageddon. Here comes DuShane! A mushroom cloud of excruciating laughs, and wicked twists. Deserves to be placed in drawers in every Motel in the country."

-Alan Black, author of Kick the Balls

"Darkly funny and authentically kinky, Tony DuShane's first novel is a surprisingly sweet coming-of-age story told through the eyes of a horny, Jehovah-battered, Watchtower-wielding door-to-door proselytizer. I may never answer my doorbell again."

-Mark Haskell Smith, author of Moist, Salty, and Delicious

"Tony DuShane's highly original novel lives at the fecund corner of religion and sex. Confessions of a Teenage Jesus Jerk captures the ache of an adolescent heart drunk on a combustible cocktail of Jesus, hormones, and visions of escape. You'll pull for this most sympathetic hero and hope he finds a god of his own."

-Seth Greenland, author of Shining City and The Bones

"An absorbing and poignant exploration of the dilemmas facing a youth growing up within a conservative religious community."

-C. D. Payne, author of Youth in Revolt

"A truly original take on familiar, omnipresent subject matter is a rare and precious thing. And subject matter doesn't get more familiar or omnipresent than the coming of age and sexual awakening of an American suburban teenage dude. But I guarantee you've never read coming-of-age like this before. Smart, funny, touching, and more fun than a Jehovah's Witnesses ethnography could be reasonably expected to be -- a real winner."

-Frank Portman, author of King Dork and Andromeda Klein

"DuShane writes like a dirty angel. Raw and inspired. He is not afraid of the dark. Spread the word."

-Rachel Resnick, author of Love Junkie
