Review

"Marvelously smooth hybrid tales that prompt readers to think twice about the intersection of life and fiction.

Completely fresh...truly moving.

Completely fresh...truly moving. "

[M]ysterious, resonant, haunting; their echoes will stay with you long after you've finished his lovely, lovely book.--Dale Peck, author of Now It's Time to Say Goodbye

[A] master storyteller...There is no doubt, this collection introduces a great talent.--Martha McPhee, author of Bright Angel Time

Uncanny, funny as hell, inventive on every page, Gabriel Brownstein displays sheer literary imagination and writes with impressive vividness.--Howard Norman, author of The Haunting of L.

Brownstein's is a fresh and jaunty voice, with a jazz snap all his own.--Tama Janowitz

A breathing monument to childhood, to Manhattan, and in its good-natured way, to literature itself.

Fantastically imagined...reverberates with subtle emotional tension.

Starred Review. Marvelously smooth hybrid tales that prompt readers to think twice about the intersection of life and fiction.
