-John Perry, "The San Francisco Chronicle Book Review"

"Refreshing and provocative...Greer's stories are self-contained and well crafted.... Subtle and poetic." -Chris Berdik, "The Boston Book Review"

"[An] impressive debut...There are very few flubbed lines in Greer's stark, delicate opererttas, which are as clever as they are gravely real." -Mark Rozzo, "Los Angeles Times"

"Crystal-like clarity...outstanding...nuanced language...Greer is a writer worth watching." -Martin Wilson, "Austin Chronicle"

"Impressive...Greer's descriptive talents are immense.... While these stories are thick with melancholy, their frankness is refressing." --"The New York Times Book Review"
