praise
“Novakovich’s language is always supple. Strange, lyrical beauty abounds here.” —The New York Times Book Review
“[Its] remarkable density is perhaps partly explained by Novakovich’s circumspection in approaching the novel form.” —The Guardian
“Insights here take into pointed regard the changes cultures of many European and U.S. cultures. The humor, anger, nostalgia, and wisdom of this first collection by Novakovich mark a splendid entry into U.S. multicultural literature. A necessary book for the shelves of every informed reader.” —Colorado Review
