Brian Phillips, author of
Impossible Owls, wrote that
Cuyahoga "defies all modest description: It’s deliriously fun to read: nonstop laughs, pages that whiz by, and a style that seems to gather up and beautify an entire history of American bullshit artistry." While
Ben Loory, author of
Tales of Falling and Flying, called it a "great big American bouncy castle of a book—strange, exhilarating, hilarious and alive—and every sentence so perfect! An absolute delight.”
Beatty is a native of the Cleveland area and used his knowledge of his home state as a place to begin the wild tale he tells in
Cuyahoga.
In addition to his novel, he has written for numerous publications, including Vice Sports, GQ, Baseball Prospectus, and Vulture.
Pete has also taught writing at the University of Alabama, Kent State University, and the Alabama Prison Arts & Education Program.
