Praise for The Tooth Fairy "With complete candor and insight Cliff maps the phases of his personal evolution throughout The Tooth Fairy , using fragmentary bursts of text, the format, he says, of rawest honesty." - The Henry Review " I'm wild about The Tooth Fairy , a riveting and deeply moving creation . Clifford Chase transforms sex and grief into exquisitely tuned sentences, whose wit and concision magically neutralize loss. Line after line, he feeds the reader a concentrated opiate of insight, hilarious as stand-up comedy, and as glittering as an imagist poem." -Wayne Koestenbaum, author of My 1980s and Other Essays " Groundbreaking . . . Touching . . . The grander life portrait emerging from the puzzle pieces is breathtaking and often heartrendingly poignant ." - Booklist "Clifford Chase's memory has sent him a series of telegrams- precise and tender observations that call to mind the 'I remember's' of Joe Brainard. They're sad and they're funny, and they tell a brave and moving story of loss, survival, and belated understanding ." -Caleb Crain, author of Necessary Errors "Partly a documentary of [Chase's] life, partly a meditation on living . . . [A] candid and insightful memoir." - Kirkus Reviews "Clifford Chase reinvents the memoir-thrillingly-with these stanzas in meditation, excruciation, and exultation. His profound self-scrutiny, aphoristic elegance, lyrical gifts, and cracked hilarity unlock 'crucial but shrouded' moments of personal and collective history, and are a tonic. Read this book out loud. Believe in it ." -Lisa Cohen, author of All We Know: Three Lives "Consummate storyteller Clifford Chase delivers a funny, strange and ultimately heartwarming recollection of a contemporary gay life. With a detached wit reminiscent of David Sedaris, these short linked fragments should make for the perfect book on the go ." - Next " Any aphorism of praise I could write about The Tooth Fairy would be trumped by your opening to a random page of it right now and reading the first few lines you put your finger on . Like Montaigne, Clifford Chase is an endlessly curious, incisive, poignant chronicler of human nature, especially the one most local to him, his own." -Matthew Sharpe, author of The Sleeping Father "In sweeping text as fluid and vivid as thought , Clifford Chase brings all his questions, loves, and losses to life in this wonderful demonstration that, for the self-aware, the funny, painful business of coming-of-age is a never-ending process." -Kit Reed, author of The Story Until Now, Praise for The Tooth Fairy "Any aphorism of praise I could write about The Tooth Fairy would be trumped by your opening to a random page of it right now and reading the first few lines you put your finger on. Like Montaigne, Clifford Chase is an endlessly curious, incisive, poignant chronicler of human nature, especially the one most local to him, his own." -Matthew Sharpe, author of Jonestown and The Sleeping Father " The Tooth Fairy has arrived! Cliff Chase reinvents the memoir-thrillingly-with these stanzas in meditation, excruciation, and exultation. His profound self-scrutiny, aphoristic elegance, lyrical gifts, and cracked hilarity unlock 'crucial but shrouded' moments of personal and collective history, and are a tonic. Read this book out loud. Believe in it." -Lisa Cohen, author of All We Know: Three Lives " Groundbreaking . . . Touching . . . The grander life portrait emerging from the puzzle pieces is breathtaking and often heartrendingly poignant ." - Booklist Praise for Winkie : " Winkie offers readers a sort of odd, outrageous delight. A verve and a nostalgia . . . that it is no crime to indulge." - The San Francisco Chronicle "Bizarre, exhilarating, captivatingly creative, and extremely ridiculous . . . The most ambitious book of the year so far." - Entertainment Weekly "[A] gripping and bizarre story of a teddy bear who gets involved in the war on terror. You will believe." - GQ "Winkie is a remarkable character, made vibrant and utterly convincing flesh (plush?) under Chase's masterful hand. This is a hauntingly beautiful, lovely and strange, funny and sly, surreptitiously moving book." -David Rakoff, author of Half Empty "A mix of surreal comedy and political satire." - The New York Times "A hilariously inventive . . . kitchen-sink drama [that] reads both as War on Terror spoof and stark family epic. But what elevates Chase's work above simple cleverness is the magic of the prose itself, which derives beauty from all things." - Time Out Chicago "Surreal and Sedaris-esque." - Daily Candy "Edgy and poetic . . . A hilarious parody of modern American justice." - O Magazine "Delicious . . . Lively . . . Uproarious . . . Winkie manages at once to tap into the deep forests of literature, history, psychology, and science and to emerge as its own perfectly original specimen . . . A case study in everything a novel should be." - Bookforum "A parable, a bedtime story, and a phenomenal character study of a teddy bear." - New York, "Coherence is a contrivance of any life story, Chase implies in his candid and insightful memoir; some truths may be shared in words, others hidden between the lines." - Kirkus Reviews, Praise for The Tooth Fairy "Chase capably combines these scraps of observation into a clear story while resisting the urge to rationalize and overexploit. In the process, he avoids writing the tidy tales of self-redemption that so many memoirs are. So many memoirs strive to simplify lives. The chief virtue of The Tooth Fairy is how well it complicates them." - Minneapolis Star Tribune "With complete candor and insight Cliff maps the phases of his personal evolution throughout The Tooth Fairy , using fragmentary bursts of text, the format, he says, of rawest honesty." - The Henry Review " I'm wild about The Tooth Fairy , a riveting and deeply moving creation .

Synopsis
An Amazon Book of the Month, February 2014From the author of the cult classic Winkie, an extraordinarily honest, shockingly funny memoir of a man torn between isolation and connection, In shimmering prose that weaves among intimate confessions, deadpan asides, and piercing observations on the fear and turmoil that defined the long decade after 9/11, Clifford Chase tells the stories that have shaped his adulthood. There are his aging parents, whose disagreements sharpen as their health declines; and his beloved brother, lost tragically to AIDS; and his long-term boyfriend--always present, but always kept at a distance. There is also the revelatory, joyful music of the B-52s, Chase's sexual confusion in his twenties, and more recently, the mysterious appearance in his luggage of weird objects from Iran the year his mother died. In the midst of all this is Chase's singular voice--incisive, wry, confiding, by turns cool or emotional, always engaging. The way this book is written--in pitch-perfect fragments--is crucial to Chase's deeper message: that we experience and remember in short bursts of insight, terror, comedy, and love. As ambitious in its form as it is in its radical candor, The Tooth Fairy is the rare memoir that can truly claim to rethink the genre.
