"Dialogos gives us Alex Breisburg: a man who catalogues the world down to the exact chime frequency of a smoke detector. What sets this book apart is how genuinely it captures an AuDHD experience — it doesn't treat neurodivergence as a gimmick or pander to tired tropes."

"I read this in two sittings and then sat with it for a week before I could write anything. Alex is one of the more quietly disturbing narrators I've read — not because he's a monster but because he's so reasonable. Every awful rationalization makes sense from the inside. That's the horror."

"Anyone who's masked their way through a workplace, a marriage, a dinner party will feel a specific chill of recognition here. The Reader's Companion at the end surprised me — closing a psychological noir with a plainspoken glossary and a list of real resources reframes the whole thing as something almost tender."

"Just what I needed to read."

"I didn't expect to feel so seen by a book about a man I have nothing in common with. The way Dialogos renders Alex's internal logic — the way he explains himself to himself — is uncomfortably precise. I kept stopping to underline things I've never seen written down before."
