“Gilb’s fiction is the most exciting and emotionally draining since Raymond Carver’s.”—The Nation
“His language is direct and strikingly honest, and yet he is also able to illuminate life’s transforming moments with a delicate appreciation of their power and evanescence.”—The Washington Post
“A deft ironic style that is all his own. . . . A bleak fable of a low-rent outlaw on the lam from someone who may only be himself.”—Robert Cohen, The New York Times Book Review
