Industry Reviews "Varied and risky, with brilliances and blunders on an occasional basis." Kirkus Reviews (08/01/2002)
"There are a few weak stories here, made up entirely of dialogue, as if Shepard had chosen to ignore the difference between theater and fiction. But in general he does more than maintain that distinction, he exploits it. With this collection, he becomes a storyteller in the purest sense." New York Times Book Review - Caryn James (11/03/2002)
