Publishers Weekly starred: "Wolff's first story collection, In the Garden of the North American Martyrs (1981), was a major salvo in the short story renaissance that included Raymond Carver. The 10 spare, elegant new stories here, collected with 21 stories from Wolff's three previous collections, are as good as anything Wolff has done... Wolff expertly uses irony and empathy to explore facets of contemporary life." And the San Francisco Chronicle said: "For more than three decades, Tobias Wolff has honed the craft of making sublime art out of the short-story form... Wolff’s alchemy in these stories is oddly and deeply transformative. They inevitably rise above their ostensible subject into some universal terrain [with] intelligence, compassion and a radical openness to life’s unfathomable surprises." | |
