Glory Goes and Gets Some
Reviews

"Emily Carter has a completely original voice. It is sassy and tragic simultaneously. And it is true."
-Erica Jong

"In sharp contrast to the likes of Elizabeth Wurzel's indulgent Prozac Nation, there is something eminently more honest in this vividly rendered collection of real drug dropouts as they attempt to combat their addictions. This on its own isn't enough to sustain your interest; the scything nature of her intelligence and biting prose is."
- The Glasgow Herald

An "electrifying novel about a doomed life spent dancing in the quicksand of addiction."
- Uncut

"Stylish, interlocking stories chronicling Glory's recovery from drug addiction…and the extraordinary characters she hooks up with along the way."
- The Bookseller

"The most perfect and least self-indulgent novel about drug abuse around…. Carter is a writer of devastating intelligence and her writing is pure pleasure."
- Bookmunch.com

"[C]risp, precise and beautifully crafted."
- Big Issues of the North

"Emancipate yourself from your humdrum existence with the bejeweled hymn to humanity that is Glory Goes and Gets Some…. Funny, sad and redemptive, Glory's benediction is potent stuff."
- Sleazenation

. "Carter, an interesting writer, has gone for the 'autobiographical' here and makes you look forward to the use of her imagination in the future."
- I-D

"[A] shockingly astute analysis of how and why we choose the paths we take in life."
