From Miriam Peskowitz, author of The Daring Books for Girls series, writing on Amazon:
A book of roadside shrines, spread across time, across a nation. Characters that -- well, what kind of kick-ass, high-imagination writer can even dream up characters like these? Offbeat, odd, filled with sadness and rage and yet eventually, so entirely lovable and human.
Just like each of us.
I love this collection.
And from Jon Busch, writing in a more formal vein in Cleaver Magazine:
 The collection pulses with a tragic calmness akin to the writings of Carver or Cheever. Beneath every scene and absurd occurrence lurks a temperate sadness. While the explored themes of isolation, loneliness and death are heavy, the electric tone of the prose persistently enthralls. |
