“Birds, guppies, co-workers, smoke breaks, dating apps, loneliness, and ink, all melted down and injected into one big beating heart.”
— Troy James Weaver, author of Marigold

"Alex Rost's Lazy Suicide is a working class anthem. We're told college is the key. Success will arrive. But it often doesn't. The only solace from menial jobs are drugs and alcohol and memories of ex-lovers to dull the pain of the failed American Dream, as it wheezes out like a dusty fart."
— Steve Anwyll, author of Welfare

“I read Lazy Suicide this morning as an unemployed 45-year-old never married childless man. Lazy Suicide is a timeless tale of men with no opportunities but to enjoy geese and energy drinks. They have been around since the beginning of time as excess to humanity's greatness, lingering in the shadows of the Giza Pyramids and the Roman Colosseum, licking frogs in the time of the Incas, mopping decks on whaler ships, and being the laziest bricklayer when the Great Wall of China was constructed. Their women always leave, their cars are always having problems, and it feels like the world doesn't want them around, but they keep going. Lazy Suicide gives voice to people that do not even know they do not have a voice.”
— Noah Cicero, author of many many wonderful books
