"The ultimate prose book. There is no one greater or darker than Carson. This book follows a creature named Red who is part boy, part winged monster. It's a coming of age story about a Kafkaesque boy and the exploration of his body and sexuality. Absolutely brilliant from start to finish. I used a quote from it to open the last book I wrote, "What's it like to be a woman listening in the dark?" That's the million dollar question."

"For me, this was the peak. I love Dangerous as well, but Bad feels more like a coherent body of work. You can feel the superstardom of the guy; he's at the top of the game. But still there is some weirdness: a song like "Speed Demon" is really weird. It came along with a whole film, Moonwalker. You get that the guy is now trying to recreate everything—defying gravity with "Smooth Criminal," and inventing shapeshifting ways of existing with the movie."
