Review Quotes

Praise for Conversational Therapy

"...both short stories and plays are quite sarcastic, socially engaged, and cinematic. Voro plays with the usual clichés, molding them into something else while attaining an overall thrilling or surprising effect." - João Reis (Author of Bedraggling Grandma with Russian Snow, a novel longlisted for the 2022 Dublin Literary Award)

"Conversational Therapy sparkles with a dazzling literary exuberance that meticulously exhibits the grand overarching function of the stories we tell to serve as a refuge from the absurdity and pain of the world." - Phillip Freedenberg (Author of America and the Cult of the Cactus Boots: A Diagnostic)

"In contrast to many, many novels that discard form as a sleight of hand trick to dazzle and distract, Voro discards form so that his stories can breathe and stretch and strike the reader between the eyes. Equal parts terrifying, liberating, and engrossing, Conversational Therapy: Stories and Plays is a promising debut and a clear sign that we can expect to be impressed by this author for years to come." - William M. Brandon lll (Author of The Exile The Matriarch & The Flood)
