Review Quotes
"Is it a spoiler alert to say that the conclusion of 'Brotherly Love' broke my heart? Or that 'Bohemian Spring' is likely to resonate especially (but by no means only) with anyone who has ever conducted dissertation research in a library/archive-and those of us who remember the emergence of Prague in the immediate aftermath of the Velvet Revolution." --Erika Dreifus, author of Birthright: Poems
