About this title

Review:

This collection is attention-grabbing. It s got some great ideas, is packed with atmosphere, dialogue and sandwiched with some elegant prose. A lot to like, from an author who understands what s going on out there. Hats off to Pitt for making us listen. --Diane Becker, The Short Review"
