Review:

"The stories that work have the fire and ice that loom over life and the magic that comes from a good story well and craftily told.""--Boston Globe""Each story is uncommonly good ... surprising, lively writing and believablyhuman characters.... Banks has a terrific eye, mordant yet affectionate, forthe bric-a-brac and the pathos of the American dream ."-- "Washington Post Book World""Mesmerizing .... There are times when Banks's prose fairly dazzles."-- "Publishers Weekly"
