"It's hard to see the letters I'm typing because my eyes are still misty. Michael was a writer on a show I did and I know he's funny, that's his gift and his profession. I did laugh out loud, that I expected. But what I appreciated most was being led into his thoughts, down the path to his deepest confessions and deepest loves. Good storytelling also lead us to ourselves, our memories, our beliefs. Personal and powerful. I loved the journey."
-Laura San Giacomo

"Michael has accomplished something most writers will never achieve. He has gotten into good trouble."
-Kevin Nealon

"After reading A Paper Orchestra, I felt alive for the first time. OK, maybe not that, but I had some much needed laughs and was touched by so many of Michael's observations about love and life."
-Ty Burrell
