“I have huge admiration for Heiko Julien’s I Am Ready To Die A Violent Death. Prose that actually feels like the 21st century. Rare. Exhilarating. I love this work.”
–Mark Leyner, author of the The Sugar Frosted Nutsack
“Heiko Julien’s prose pieces, poems and fragments are where the Buddha meets the internet—the trope of the shark, the void and the triangle in a state of simultaneous orgasm with the holes we feel we need to fill, the terrifying reality, the wanting to be a man of the people and the fear. Julien is a writer who never says ‘or’ only ‘and.’ This book is non-duality at its most neon.”
–Melissa Broder, author of Meat Heart and Scarecrone
“What’s constant in Heiko Julien’s work is that he’s engaging directly and nakedly with his experience of being a human being. He’s a poet in the old sense: he’s trying hard to find wisdom and truth, like Socrates or something. That’s an important aspect of literature to keep alive as we move forward into the forms of the Internet. Heiko Julien is a model of someone who refuses to live an unexamined life.”
–Steve Roggenbuck, internet bard
“I feel excited about Heiko’s writing and I don’t feel excited about many other things I think.”
