5.0 out of 5 stars
This is a review that touches on the fine prose style., December 11, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Nightwork: Stories (Hardcover)
Most short stories today display no artistry, no understanding of the possible musicality of language. Schutt's stories are remarkable, not only for their subject matter, but for their language. Schutt is a poet of the first order, and her recently published story, "Sickish," in the KGB Bar Reader anthology, confirms her talent. She is a writer to be watched; she is the real thing.

Fresh, introspective fiction, October 28, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Nightwork: Stories (Hardcover)
Although distrubing or startling at moments, it is the freshness and curt wording that illuminates the underlying themes running throughout of childhood innocence and naivety clashing with the malevolance of reality.
