Recenzii
"Four exquisitely crafted novellas introduce a brilliant new writer." --Harpers & Queen
“An impressive first collection . . . These stories are refreshingly, unapologetically erudite. They are also extremely funny.”
Observer
“Here is a gossipy, smart, critical, intellectual, high-spirited and literate voice. It is like a secret retreat where readers can simply rejoice in intelligent, stylish prose.”
Times Literary Supplement
"Witty . . . cultured and ironic . . . lavish and precise at evoking place through culture and language."
The San Diego Union-Tribune
"Like a small box of chocolate truffles, these delicious novellas. . . should be carried in a handbag or briefcase . . . for a quick hit of wit or the jolt of a . . . clever surprise ending." USA Today —
