"This book rises in the imagination like a fantastical building in the desert. It is an extraordinary assemblage. You simply have no idea what Nesmith is going to spring on you in the next paragraph--ancient stories, new wisdom, or a sudden damn good joke, all held together with the rhythm of prose which flows like music. America may have temporarily mislaid its soul, but luckily it has been found again and returned intact in the pages of this remarkable book."
--Douglas Adams, author ofThe Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
"A mystical search through the southwest for beauty and truth, Michael Nesmith writes with a rythym and color that is as enveloping as his terrain. This is a writer rich in humor, with a delighfully canny sense of the modern picturesque novel. It's a wonderful ride with Mr. Nesmith."
--Wendy Wasserstein, author and Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright of "The Heidi Cronicles"
--N. Scott Momaday, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of House Made of Dawn
"You fear there is no romance left in the world? You fear that the glorious word 'love' no longer means anything other than 'sex'? Then you must read this, Michael Nesmith's compelling first novel. It is the ultimate romance, the refreshing balm we need for our utilitarian time; it is just such an...exquisite... relief"
--Georgie Anne Geyer, author and syndicated columnist, United Press Syndicate
Critical Accliam
"Nesmith echoes the styles of two writers...Gabriel Garcia-Marquez and Lewis Carroll. He constructs a narrative that's part magical realism part "The Red Queen's Race"
"The Long Sandy Hair Of Neftoon Zamora is an impressively unexpected novel. It is not the sort of thing a celebrity would toss off in the hope of cashing in on a famous name. Instead, it serves notice that a compelling literary career may be just beginning. Michael Nesmith, hats off."
--L.D. Meagher, CNN
