“Only poets have the same obsessive concern with language that philosophers do, and McCracken is clearly a poet…Funny and heartbreaking…A terrific book…You could gulp (these stories) like heart-candy.” —Geoffrey Stokes, The Boston Sunday Globe
“McCracken is a…robust, ferocious romantic who sees reality with all its chinks, twitches, and zits, and finds it beautiful.” —Katherine Dunn, author of Geek Love
“McCracken’s voice is lively and witty, and astonishingly assured…These stories about with …beauties and originalities of phrasing and insight. A startling good debut.” —Neil Paraday, The Guardian
