"A restlessly inventive collection, as the best story collections so often are -- comic and tender, ironic and earnest, deadpan and passionate. A distinctive new voice, from a distinctive new press."
-- Peter Ho Davies, author of The Welsh Girl

"These stories by Roy Kesey, in the way they brilliantly blend humor and pathos, remind me of coins tossed in the air, turning over and over, one side cast in light, the other in darkness. His writing is original, fearless, strikingly funny, and clean - so clean - his words sharp enough to cut the eye."
