Critic reviews
"Englander's voice is distinctly his own: daring, funny and exuberant." (The New York Times)
"Taut, edgy, sharply observed.... A revelation of the human condition." (The New York Times Book Review)
"Remarkable art.... The author fills each of these pieces with vivid life, with characters that jump off the page." (Newsday)
