Review
"Well-written and emotionally complex, these comically dark stories offer the reader a glimpse at an emerging talent."--"Charlotte Observer"
"Reading each of these gems is like focusing a micrscope on a particular attitude or manner of the human condition."--"Booklist "(starred review)
"Quietly spectacular. . . . He's no minimalist--these stories are long and must be read slowly--but Soos's protagonists recall Raymond Carver's language-impeded cast."--"Boston Review"
"His is a dark, disturbing (but I mean that in a good way) study of two simple questions: Why and why me?"--"Spokane Spokesman-Review"
