"If anyone has the ability to make literature cool among young men again, it might be Rienspects." - John McDermott
"Contemporary novels don’t seem to do adolescence well; there’s a certain shyness writers have about how teenagers, particularly boys, actually speak to each other. For anyone who came of age in the 2000s, Mixtape Hyperborea will ring especially true." - Ross Barkan
"Adem Luz Rienspect’s Mixtape Hyperborea is the best indie novel I have ever read." - ARX-Han
"Rienspects’s ode to youth is a lot of things all at once. It is metaphysical and mystical. It is also crass and guttural. It is brilliant and bawdy. Fundamentally, it is a great (not good) novel that manages to convey so much without having a discernible plot." - Arbogast
Polemics
"Mixtape Hyperborea will survive the crash when it happens. It’s not just about 2007 and the generation around it. It’s a cultural study of advanced social control technology and how it has influenced preferred aesthetics and memory. The novel is an artifact" - Pilleater
"I was brought to tears on more than one occasion. Left with heartwarming full body chills" - Jesse Larkins
