Add to basketAlexander writes with a brash, comic, and socially sensitive touch that recalls Carol Shields. This isn't hip, trendy, urban writing. It is unflinching, vivid, and frequently domestic. Nino Ricci described the collection as possessing an unbridled urgency and wit.... At once eccentric and precisely observed, they seem to hum with the energy of everything in life that is unreasonable and can't quite be contained.'
Joan Alexander is one of those writers who can find humour in dark places, can sympathize with her characters even when they are behaving foolishly, perhaps because they are behaving foolishly. She understands pain and loss and longing, but she writes with clarity and directness. She doesn't sentimentalize, and she doesn't shy away. Surely, she is a writer to watch, which is to say, a writer to read, a writer who rewards reading.' - Kim Jernigan - The New Quarterly
