“Poked and probed at the boundaries of what is and what could be.”
– The Huffington Post on Kressen’s play that inspired the novel.

“Nathaniel Kressen writes as if his life depends on it. Bursting to find the truth in each breath, his Jumper and Gypsy take us on an intense, reckless journey through a Kerouac-esque New York. An electric portrayal of two young, schizophrenic souls in a post-9/11

world." – Kathy Lindboe, writer/director of NoNames

“This novel grabs you and won’t let go. Kressen’s vivid and intense prose hits you like a kick in the stomach, at once hallucinatory and real, poetic and blunt, making this a stunning debut novel. A quintessential novel about New York and about youth.” – Logan Medland, author of The Edge of The World (semi-finalist for the Amazon Breakthrough Novel Award)

"Some writers are talented and some make up for it with hard work. Nathaniel Kressen is that rare combination of the two, and it's both intimidating and inspiring in equal measures." - Crispin Kott, author of A Record Collection Reduced to a Mixtape

"If you’re looking for a compelling read this summer, I definitely recommend "Dahlia Cassandra,” as it is a complicated nuanced read in our post-internet world—and what it means to grow up lonely and alone—and how to open yourself up to the possibilities of love."

-- Luna Luna reviews Nathaniel Kressen's Dahlia Cassandra, calling it "a must read for the summer!"

Second Skin Books), I was utterly entranced by his ability to skillfully
