Review:
"An impressive and important debut." San Francisco Examiner on Flying in Place "The fine title story about an IQ-enhanced mouse named Rodney recalls Flowers for Algernon." Publishers Weekly "This slim collection has an overwhelming effect on the reader." The Agony Column "Masterful writing, magical realism, slipstream, and literary fiction are all descriptors that come to mind." Tangent "Palwick uses both fantasy and science in her fictions, flinching from neither the rational nor the ineffable." The Seattle Times "Elegantly crafted short fiction." Locus "A potent brew of mystery and heartache ... gracefully knotted, densely lyrical." SciFi.com/Sci Fi Weekly "A powerful and complex utopian streak ... displays a keen intelligence and a fierce imagination." The Montreal Gazette
