"As its title seemed to demand, I found myself skipping about Brad Listi's novel, yanked further in by each random, episodic jewel. They were quirky, evocative, and clever...something genuinely different, and defiantly genuine. Then, reading from start to finish, an entirely other experience emerged: a cohesive, poignant story, subsuming warmth and depth, and—again—that unflinching honesty. Overall, it seems I got a lot more than I bargained for. A perfect book about what we and the world are becoming."

"It's not easy writing lightly about heavy things, but Brad Listi makes it look effortless...Attention. Deficit. Disorder. is a wild American picaresque."  
 
—Stewart O'Nan, author of Emily, Alone 
 
 
"Recall the Ritalin! Brad Listi's writing, in this postmodern meditation on love and loss, is spellbinding, knowing, intelligent, and hip. The primary side effect is epiphany." 
 
—Susan Compo, author of Warren Oates: A Wild Life 
 
 
"In his graceful debut novel, Brad Listi evokes a portrait of grief that is weird and true. At once an adventure and a deep character study, Attention. Deficit. Disorder. is a book you'll want to share." 
 
—Owen King, author of Double Feature 
 
 
"An ironic, often humorous take on the anomie of youth."
