PRAISE FOR PETER LASALLE
“LaSalle’s stories are full of detail, and he knows how to create a sense of place, be it Buenos Aires, Austin, Texas, Paris, or Boston.”
—Atlanta Journal-Constitution on Tell Borges If You See Him
“Peter LaSalle has worked his way deep into the storytelling place. Serious, anomalous, his narratives are set into motion by the obsessions and perturbations of living. There is no model, no recipe—each world is uniquely known and irresistibly defined.”
—Sven Birkerts, author of Reading Life: Books for the Ages on Tell Borges If You See Him
“LaSalle’s command of the language is admirable, but even more admirable is his moral vision.”
—Dallas Times-Herald on Strange Sunlight
