"Dementedly cheerful ... a rollicking catalogue of sex, violence, and acts of cartoonish cruelty, Barrow’s novel is a schoolboy’s happy nightmare writ large; readers may find it impossible to look away."

Publishers Weekly
“Reading The Drive in these times … feels nearly like a political act. The soldier’s mental conflict feels like our very own. Can we take a break from the news cycle, from being perpetually battle-ready, from speaking, writing, reacting and just spend a morning with a poem anymore? … A novel that is really a manual for what it takes to be an individual in a country today.”
