Review
'One of the most accomplished works of fiction to have come out of
America in recent times'
-- Books of the Year, Times Literary Supplement
'combines Eisenberg’s mesmerising ability to blend a seeming offhandedness of style with striking emotional perspicacity... concentrated bursts of perfection’ -- The Times
'many people consider Eisenberg to be up there with Alice Munro, the female monarch of the short-story form.' -- FT magazine
Eisenberg's narratives are full of imagery, both startling and
exact, of wry humour and controlled emotional explosions.' -- Sunday Times
‘All the stories are brilliantly crafted demonstrations of how people negotiate their lives through turbulent events around them’ -- Jewish Chronicle
‘Each tale proves as densely constructed and individually rewarding as a novel' -- The List
‘Eisenberg’s stories reveal the abstract absurdity as well as the pain of human relationships.’ -- The Observer
‘This is her seventh collection of stories: it’s a shame that none of the others is available in the UK’ -- London Review of Books
‘This seventh collection...further confirms her reputation as one of the most imaginative and exquisitely perceptive of today’s short story writers.' -- Scotland on Sunday
‘Wonderful... written with a ruthless, compassionate eye and a subtle humour... [the] stories abound with thoughtful, deep, quirky insights' -- Guardian
Book Description
