Don De Grazia, author of American Skin, on U.P.:

An exciting new voice. In the tradition of The Wanderers, Trainspotting and other wild rides through male adolescence, Ron Riekki’s U.P. gives us an in-the-round look at a tight knit group of “Yoopers.” Riekki tells their tale with uncompromised honesty and genuine artistry.
