" Although the impact of these stories is utterly adult, they are told with deceptive and seductive simplicity, and reading
them is like being invited back into childhood, where fantastical premises, straight-forward syntax, and endless possibility
were the literary pleasures. Chacon has either reinvented the form, or refreshingly reminded his readers of what stories do
best: linger in the mind like a sudden firework, a flash of pretty magic, in an otherwise dark sky.” —Antonya
Nelson, author of Female Troubles and In the Land of Men
