Praise for Love Songs of the Revolution
"Mauldin's conglomeration of texts form a single piece of fiction that works on a number of different levels…. It's all accomplished with wit and aplomb, and as I first read it, I found myself doubting whether or not this truly was fiction."
--KC Kirkley, Curbside Splendor
"The resolution of both the novel and the “Extras” is nothing short of brilliant. Love Songs of the Revolution navigates the wonderfully treacherous, mysterious world known as reality."
--Scott Navicky, author of Humboldt: Or, The Power of Positive Thinking
A "deep and rightfully ambitious novel."
--Al Kratz, The Coil
