Editorial Reviews
Review
"...love in all its complexities, disappointments and reversals... memorable." --Chicago Tribune
"Like Green Day did for punk rock and 'The Matrix' for kung-fu flicks, this new collection from New Yorker editor Greenman could well become an advocate for the short story with those who haven't been interested in the form. Amusing, palatable and featuring some safe innovations, it's precisely the sort of thing that can gain a new audience for a genre." --Time Out Chicago
"Wildly inventive, sometimes surreal, but tenderly told, these stories give a glimpse of what Phillip K. Dick might have written if he'd allowed himself a sincere broken heart." --Paste Magazine

Praise for Ben Greenman
“Just when you think Greenman has thoroughly excavated all available humor, he surprises with a snipe from an unforeseen direction.”
– Time Out New York
“[Greenman] is not afraid to attach authentic sentiment and poke around at the poignant. It works, and it works quite well…. He constantly walks a narrative tightrope.”
– Atlanta Journal-Constitution
“It wouldn’t do not to mention the genius ‘Blurbs,’ which constructs an entire story out of made-up book-critic blurbs, including even one from this publication. Something extraordinary.”
– Kirkus (STARRED review)
