What They're Saying
Critics Review
“This greatest-hits anthology … serves as an ideal curbside roost from which to contemplate his tantalizing, if often brooding, artistry.” –Marc Smirnoff, New York Times Book Review “This career-synthesizing collection of stories lands [DeMarinis] on the shelf right next to Flannery O’Connor, another writer who shined a divine light on ordinary saints and sinners.” –Tom Grimes, The Texas Observer “The beauty of reading DeMarinis’s work in bulk; by the end of the 32-story collection, even the weirdest notions seem plausible: Wimpy men with murder in their hearts, cruel slovenly women, and nasty little kids no longer induce winces. Instead, they seem genuine, faintly familiar, and never, ever boring.” –Seattle Times
