"If Walt Whitman had been straight, married, and hilarious
he would have been James Braly."
--Andy Borowitz
New Yorker and NPR contributor
"James Braly is a master storyteller.
He appears to be so sane, but that is a ruse,
and a fascinating one at that.
This calm, grey-maned fellow is actually losing his mind
twenty-four hours a day
and delights in regaling his pleased and happy audiences
with his absurd, hyper-observational
perils-of-Pauline adventures."
--Jonathan Ames
author of Wake Up, Sir! and numerous other books
"James Braly is, simply put, one of the finest storytellers
in New York. In the tradition of John Irving and Spalding Gray,
Braly writes openly about the things that most of us are afraid
to admit we even think. With great humor and elegance,
he reveals complex psychological and emotional truths,
effectively taking us on a tour of our own inner lives.”
--Catherine Burns
Artistic Director, The Moth
