“Ronald Reagan, My Father [is] a darkly humourous collection of pop-cultural satires, experiments, jeremiads, and — gasp — conventional bouts of realist storytelling. This is an unabashed mash-up of style, subject and register, reaching unusual heights of narrative diversity.” — Broken Pencil
“Credit Brian Joseph Davis with many things: a roomy imagination, big appetite for the absurd, healthy sense of humour, heightened sense for the telling detail, reference and setting (these are decidedly pop cultural), curiosity and cleverness.” — Telegraph-Journal
“Davis demonstrates real craft, combining humour with narrative development, humane warmth, and a convincing command of vernacular expression … Ronald Reagan, My Father is hyper-satire intended for those who appreciate Davis’s dark humour and share his cultural enthusiasms, which are equal parts populist and arcane. Fans of the edginess of Davis’s previous work will find similar satisfaction in this slim volume.” — Quill & Quire
