Praise
“Streetwise and pain-acquainted, John Domini’s new story-collection is a good rich read indeed.” —John Barth
"Fantastically tender... very fine pieces of short fiction. Domini [demonstrates] a willingness to cross boundaries... he powers of imagination coalesce and run." --Rain Taxi
"Domini achieves a powerful effect as he paints succinct and compelling portraits of offbeat souls.... The good, the bad, and the ugly of these characters come to life in... the author's insightful forays. ...Domini works with a keen and compassionate mind." --The Oregonian
"His lonely, hard-boiled outsider figures, women as well as men, are shrewd, wary observers of the predatory scene around them, but keep their fierce loves to themselves." --Jaimy Gordon
"prose poems... swirling... grab hold of both readers and characters." --New York Times Book Review
