Industry reviews
"Overall, and especially considering that the ten stories have been written over nearly 40 years, the unity of tone, style and concerns is extraordinary....[Two stories tell of] events which teach something about affection and compassion....These help to shift the balance of the book from being beautiful and desperate to being beautiful and painful and not without hope--and in any case superbly written."
Times Literary Supplement - Stephen Medcalf (09/22/1989)

"[T]his book of departures and ambiguous returns fascinatingly suggests some of the history of a splendid writer's imagination."
New York Times Book Review - Thomas R. Edwards (05/14/1989)

"There is wide thematic and textual range to these stories....The title story alone is worth the price of the book."
America - Andre Dubus (11/25/1989)
