Review
Slouka flashes forward and back in time with astonishing alacrity and skill.
Remarkable by any measure, but all the more considering that this is Slouka's debut...On nearly every page sentences approach the lyricism and rigor of observation of an Elizabeth Bishop poem.
Dazzling...A work of extraordinary intelligence and sensitivity.
Sensual, elegiac nature writing and complex, full-bodied stories.
So rich and affecting that it incorporates all kinds of influences while remaining singular and quite unforgettable.
A beautifully written, precisely seen series of stories about fathers, death, exile, sex, and fishing. Each of them seems to contain a world. Together they make a picture of the emotional lives of men--who they are, and how they got to be that way. Dark territory, illuminated.--Kevin Canty
I have never been so moved as I was reading this elegant and frankly poetic collection of stories...[T]he hallmark of a really fine short story is that in its abbreviated space it nonetheless manages to contain everything. Certainly this is true for Mark Slouka, who holds life up to his jeweler's eyepiece and shares with us his amazing vision.--Elizabeth Berg
