Praise for Bart Yates:
“Yates effectively captures the honest, sometimes silly, often tender interactions between his fragile characters.” —Booklist on Leave Myself Behind
“As a narrator, he’s an agreeable companion, brimming with self-awareness and wit…This is a sequel fans of the original didn’t know they needed.” —Publishers Weekly on The Language of Love and Loss
“Hilarious and biting, but also tender and heartfelt. With marvelously drawn characters and profound, at times puckish narration and dialogue, Yates has crafted an entertaining story where the sentimental can be barbed, humorous, sad. This is an honestly and sharply drawn tale presented without compromise.” —Little Village Magazine
“The next Holden Caulfield… Bart Yates’ main character and narrator, Noah York, has Caulfield-style teenage authenticity. Noah’s voice is more than just honest or original; it’s real.” —The Plain Dealer on Leave Myself Behind
“In his assured debut, Leave Myself Behind, Bart Yates wrung bittersweet romance and wry humor out of brutal fag-bashing and family secrets. His sad, witty follow-up, The Brothers Bishop, begins like a snappy beach read, but soon treads equally dark thematic waters. [Yates]… finds hard-won joy in hot-button issues. His compelling debut novel was no fluke.” —Out
“With Leave Myself Behind, Bart Yates gives us both the laugh-out-loud and refreshingly sincere coming-of-age story we’ve been missing all these years.” —Instinct Magazine
“One of the strengths of Yates’s writing is his ability to work out complicated plot points and weave together the threads of the story in a dramatically effective manner.” —Bay Area Reporter on The Brothers Bishop
“Brilliantly written and funny as hell.” —Edge Boston on The Distance Between Us
“Absorbing. Brims with quiet intensity.” —Publishers Weekly on The Distance Between Us
