Reading Garish Trouble is like filling your mouth at midnight with grain alcohol and then blowing it out over a lit matchstick, the dark world before your eyes going bright in a ball of flame. These are stories of dread and devastation, of cruelty and suffering, but they explode into scalding beauty, one after another, their agonies transformed by the artfulness of their narration. -Seth Michelson (writer, teacher) Los Angeles, California
ان لم يمتلك الادب اديبا لا يسطتيع ان يكتب بشكل جيد بعد مطالعة كتاب -روبرت ماسترسون-اعتقد انه كاتب مندمج كليا مع الادب لدرجة اصبح هو والادب واحدا -Aline Khano, Beirut, Lebanon
The imagination of R. Masterson dwells in that twilit zone of cold war material culture and spiritual confusion that erupts beneath the American psyche. The poisoning of innocence is here described with wry humor and persistent insight; here is Whitman and Tarkovsky playing nine-pins with Barbie and G.I. Joe; here is the reader searching everywhere for the exit, while not really wishing to find it, wondering, if indeed there is one. - M. Djinn Moor Moore, Ann Arbor, Michigan
