"An edgy comedy about sex, duty, and food service."-Sam Thielman, The New York Times

"Questions of ethics in art, filial responsibility and the shifting tides of friendship weave their way through this thoughtful, sensitive story, with flashes of red-hot anger."-Giselle Au-Nhien Nguyen, The Guardian

“A beautifully-drawn slice of life, filled with the kind of intimate, specific details that make the best fiction seem autobiographical.” —Adrian Tomine, Shortcomings

“Beguilingly drawn, Cannon depicts a wide spectrum of adulthood with nuance and complexity. From one story unravels many stories, about friendships, situationships, work, familial obligations. I was struck by its attention and care.” —Ling Ma, Bliss Montage

“In Cannon, Lee Lai has performed a rare and powerful act of alchemy—the images, narrative, and writing not only capture a life, but combine so that the book itself feels alive.” —Torrey Peters, Stag Dance

“It’s rare, and precious, when a moment—in a movie, in a poem, in a comic—surges up at you as being True. And in Cannon, Lee Lai does it again and again.” —Eleanor Davis, The Hard Tomorrow

"Subtle yet searing... a satisfying emotional feast."- Publishers Weekly, Starred Review

"Audiences won’t ever want to look away."-Terry Hong, Booklist, Starred Review

"Cannon is a joy to read. Its art manages to be both spare and full of emotion; its dialogue feels lived-in. And it’s a cathartic, unexpectedly gleeful story about anxiety.”-Emma Sarappo, The Atlantic
