"North's gonzo eclecticism only partially camouflages her penetrating insight and masterful command of language. With Rainbear!!!!!!!!! she has created something part fairytale, part Old Testament parable, and entirely unique, a heartbreaking creative vision of regression."-Gretchen Felker-Martin, author of Manhunt

"I can't tell you what happens in Rainbear!!!!!!!!!, and if someone tries to, good luck to them. Frank Stanford once said "It wasn't a dream, it was a flood," and I have spent most of my life believing I knew what that meant, but it turns out I didn't. This is what that means. This isn't a dream. This is a flood. And we should all be so lucky as to drown in Never's waters."-Sasha Fletcher, author of Be Here to Love Me at the End of the World
