"Soft-spoken in his prose and terrifyingly accurate in his dialogue, Yates renders his characters with such authenticity that you hardly realize what he's done." --The Boston Globe"One of America's best-kept secrets. . . . Keenly insightful, brutally honest...delivering a swift kick to the heart." --The Denver Post"Yates writes powerfully and enters completely and effortlessly into the lives of his characters." --The New York Times Book Review
