Industry Reviews
"With her first story collection, Gilbert proves herself to be a capable fiction writer....She draws her characters beautifully, and her sentences are sharp and bright."
Los Angeles Times Book Review - D. T. Max (09/21/1997)
"The distinctive cant of Gilbert's stories recalls the off-kilter worlds of T. Coraghessan Boyle, and she embraces the bizarre and fabulous with similar enthusiasm....[B]lunt summaries capture none of Gilbert's subtlety. Whether trashing those on high or celebrating those below, she moves stealthily, avoiding the tempataion to grandstand, moralize or, especially, patronize."
New York Times Book Review - Liam Callanan (10/05/1997)
"A fine first collection of 12 stories that are richly varied in setting and content, and enlivened by their author's flair for vigorous dialogue and concise summary statement....The best kind of debut volume: a striking display of a versatile writer flexing her muscles and tackling a broad array of subjects and themes."
