"[A] sly and emotionally complex debut collection...[Black's] unflinching candor allows her to mine extraordinary revelations." -Boston Globe
"Alethea Black's characters are witty [...] without turning caustic, and remain mostly cheerful about their uncertain futures--just the kind of people with whom we want to connect." -- Corrie Pikul, Oprah online "This debut reads like a dream, with nary a false note...a well-balanced collection filled with low-key charm and notable talent." - Kirkus Reviews "A sense of vulnerable restlessness is betrayed by the otherwise pragmatic characters of Black's strong debut collection." - Publishers Weekly "I Knew You'd Be Lovely is an impressive offering, from a strong new voice, of stories about life's desperation." - Joseph Arellano, New York Journal of Books "Alethea Black is downright brilliant at capturing the restless striving for a self that we all are feeling in this parlous and unsettling age. I Knew You'd Be Lovely is a splendidly resonant debut by an important young writer." - Robert Olen Butler, Pulitzer Prize winning author of A Good Scent From a Strange Mountain"About this title" may belong to another edition of this title.
