Expert Reviews
"[E]ven the strangest events in this sure-footed collection are painfully familiar."
Reviewer: John Schwartz, (New York Times Book Review)
"These are small, hard gems, full of the same rich emotion and startling observation that readers of Oates's fiction have come to expect."
Reviewer: Matt Konrad, (Ruminator Review)
"[A]lthough the collection is often undeniably grim, it never veers off into simply being depressing. Instead, Oates's subtle, empathetic writing and complex characters provoke thought, occasional inklings of hope, and that suffused sense of dread most hack thriller writers would kill for....Oates's milieu is the cruelty that everyday people are capable of, and here she provides some of her most nuanced examinations of how they deal with it."
