"A wry, crackly voice. . . . Fine, funny, and very moving pictures
of contemporary life [from] a writer of enormous talent." —The New
York Times
"Brisk, ironic . . . scalpel-sharp. . . . A funny, cohesive, and
moving collection of stories." —The New York Times Book Review
"Astonishing. . . . Moore is so good at trapping each moment in
perfect, precise detail, so masterful at cynicism and wryness that
her moments of poignancy and sweetness catch us completely off
guard." —San Francisco Chronicle
“Sharp, flicking, on-target . . . the work of a sorcerer’s
apprentice. Moore casts a cruel, mischievous spell.” —Vanity
Fair
“Trenchant, funny tales. . . . Moore is much more than another
chronicler of the chronically out-of-sync relations between
American men and women. She writes with urgency and pace.” —People
