Acclaim for
Dating Your Mom

“Bold, challenging humor that works as the inspiration for both laughs and thoughts.”

â
The Philadelphia Inquirer

“Intellectual knee-slapping â¦ some of the titles alone are good for a hearty chuckle.”

â
The Boston Globe

“A satisfying and refreshing humorous voice â¦ reminding us that there is nothing so sacred it cannot or should not be laughed at.”

â
Los Angeles Times

“Shows that he is one of our best contemporary humorists.”

â
Kirkus Reviews

“It's a treat to have this first collection of Frazier's as a mirthful refuge to turn to when a grim era's inane clichÃ©s start flying.”

â
Newsday

“Very, very funny â¦ simple, graceful, funny pieces with no obvious targets â¦ . Frazier's writing is so graceful and controlled that all these pieces have the feel of an effortless romp.”

â
The Voice Literary Supplement

“One of America's funniest writers.”

â
Vogue
