These surgically precise slices of intelligent life are distinguished by virtuosic phrase-making and fetchingly off-beat specifics.—Bruce Allen, The New York Times Book Review.
Oddly touching, the interest here lies not in the stories’ mundane incidents, but in things barely hinted at: beneath this calm surface, powerful currents flow.—Bruce Bawer, The Wall Street Journal.
The narratives weave toward minor epiphanies, backing and filling, curving around their characters with a seeming lack of coherence—yet they are strangely compelling, as the refusal to make plain their meanings gives more depth to implication.—Michael Darling, Books in Canada.
