“His best work--it's terrific, piercing, and funny. The novel demonstrates every kind of strength.” —David Lipsky, The New York Times Book Review
“James Sveck is a brilliant wit of a character whose voice will echo long after his story ends.” —Kristin Kloberdanz, Chicago Tribune
“Deliciously vital right from the start . . . a piece of vocal virtuosity and possibly Cameron's best book . . . It is a bravura performance, and Someday This Pain Will Be Useful to You is a stunning little book. ” —Lorrie Moore, The New York Review of Books
“Cameron's prose handily marries the tangled logic of adolescence to simple, beautiful language.” —Peter Terzian, Newsday
