Janice Galloway is a poet of uneasy intimacies.
"The Daily Telegraph" (London)
Galloway has the all-important gift of knowing when her stories end, and lethally accurate powers of observation.
"The Sunday Times" (London)
Galloway...shows once more her skill at exposing the pretensions of macho language...lead[ing] into an assured prose of menace and a world made uncanny.
"The Independent"
Galloway's narrators inevitably wear their central nervous system on the outside and heap detail upon felt detail with a vividness that is either hallucinatory or nightmarish and always unforgettable.
"The Big Issue" (London)
Tactile and unfussy, these yarns come over like some north-of-the-border Raymond Carver -- brilliantly catching the tiny triumphs, big decisions and bumping let-downs of an assortment of everyday, flesh-and-blood protagonists....A beautifully wrought gem.

Book Description Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - 'VALENTINE'S DAY MAKES ME EMBARRASSED,' writes Janice Galloway in the opening lines of Where You Find It. The collection deals with love in its many guises -- the way relationships suddenly turn; how a look, a gesture, a word can heal or hurt. Love in Galloway's world is more likely to resemble a heart-shaped ham sandwich than the flowers and chocolates that bear the standard in more traditional 'love stories.' In the manner of Lorrie Moore and Raymond Carver, Galloway's tales explore the psychological aspects of love and the overpowering yearning to communicate. Whether it's the title piece, which tells of a prostitute's passion for her pimp's kisses, or 'Valentine,' in which a celebratory evening is undermined by minor disappointments and misunderstandings, the stories that comprise Where You Find It assume that powerful feelings always contain a dimension of disturbance. Upon the collection's much-lauded publication in the United Kingdom, one reviewer was moved to predict that Janice Galloway 'will certainly end up in anthologies: not Best Scottish Writers or Best Women Writers, but, quite simply, best.'.
