Industry Reviews
"He shows a knack for revealing character, especially his own. He suggests the ways in which choice, chance, and a variety of imperatives fuse, deciding who we are and what we do with our lives."
New York Times Book Review - Paula Friedman (03/10/1996)
"A good story, simply told and often affecting."
Kirkus Reviews (12/15/1995)
