"Hope & Despair is a sensual and entrancing novel, Payne's most poetic work to date."
- Reactor Magazine
"Roman Payne brings a very mellifluous style, sublime effects, a kind of chivalric erotic melancholy, and a sense of hope and ardor peculiar to his talent. It's a pleasure to read his sentences."
