Independent on Sunday'These are tales we can almost feel in our bones.' Sunday Times'As lean, confident and exact as a stylist, and as good a storyteller, as you could hope for.' Observer'Individually, these eleven tales have a tautness and an urgency that are never less than exhilarating. Collectively, they encapsulate an entire, unremittingly bleak world. To find the pulse of humanity in such desperate lives betokens a writer of genius.' Daily Telegraph'One of the shrewdest chroniclers of contemporary America.' Sunday Telegraph.
