An unusual mixture of biography, comedy, action, and analysis, Explosions takes a tongue-in-cheek approach to one of the most popular but artistically dismissed film directors working today. (...) an amusing work of film criticism." Daniel Schindel, Foreword Reviews
"The overlap here between formal aesthetics and metaphysics in the Aristotelian sense is useful to understanding how Explosions works, but it doesnt quite capture the novels pulse. This is a very, very, funny book." Scott Beauchamp, An Aggregate of Moments
"Explosions is a thrilling read and Jensens sharp and lyrical translation lives up to the promise of Poulins excellent confidence trick of a narrative. The balance between a plot that frequently and deliberately jumps the shark and characters that almost universally take themselves and each other so painfully seriously is a difficult one to achieve in any language, and Explosions almost always succeeds brilliantly." Julia Peterson, Reading in Translation
