Review Quotes

"A witty collection of stories which break away from the cliches to create touching portraits of men in conflict and conciliation with an often hostile world." --Publishers Weekly

"Mordden is the wittiest writer of short fiction in America, and he's also one of the most skillful, original and moving. " --City Week

"In these wonderfully cosmopolitan sketches, Mordden is the Jane Austen of Gay Manhattan, but not confined to that city; he leaps memorably beyond geography." --The Bay Area Reporter

"Ethan Mordden is a master craftsman. His style combines the satirical urbanity of Juvenal, the wit of Oscar Wilde, the intelligence and drawing room sophistication of Jane Austen. The appearance of this volume is a splendid gift to us all." --Bay Windows
