Roy Kesey's All Over has received 4 (of 6) star reviews from both Time Out Chicago and Time Out New York in recent weeks.
Chicago's version came out two weeks ago, and specifically noted:
"In “Wait,” we encounter everything that could be considered quintessentially Keseyian: a global perspective, unnamed characters impersonally identified, an increasing absurdity that runs alongside the story’s growing emotional complexity, a knockout sense of humor and a missing presence that silently shoves the story to its finale. It’s the latter that makes Kesey most obviously a near-direct descendant of Samuel Beckett."
New York's version hit today, and they state that:
"... Kesey’s collection has an air of conviction that—by the end of the final story—will have the reader wondering why they ever questioned it."
