    [synopsis] => "[Eisenberg] reminds us in every line of certain saving virtues: wit, wild intelligence, great heart, the beauty of the inquiring human voice. If our culture can produce a writer this wonderful, there must be something beautiful about us yet." - George Saunders
	Instead of forcing her characters' stories into neat, arbitrary, preordained shapes, [Eisenberg] allows them to grow organically into oddly shaped, asymmetrical narratives-narratives that possess all the surprising twists and dismaying turns of real life." - New York Times
	"Deborah Eisenberg, one of America's finest writers, offers new ways of seeing and feeling, as if something were being perfected at the core." - San Francisco Chronicle
	"Reading [Eisenberg] makes you wish, as you study the family in front of you in the grocery line, that you could see their thoughts rendered as one of Eisenberg's stunning inner monologues." - Los Angeles Times
	"...[S]uperlative and entertaining...Eisenberg is funny, grim, biting, and wise, but always with a light touch and always in the service of worlds that extend far beyond the page. A virtuoso at rendering the flickering gestures by which people simultaneously hide and reveal themselves, Eisenberg is an undisputed master of the short story." - Publishers Weekly (starred review)
	"[Eisenberg] is always worth the wait...so instantly absorbing that it feels like an abduction...This book offers no palliatives to its characters or to its readers - no plan of action. But it is a compass." - The New York Times
	"Eisenberg is a gorgeous writer...I thank my stars that there's a writer in the increasingly imperiled world as smart and funny and blazingly moral and devastatingly sidelong as she is." - New York Times Book Review
	"Every character is memorable, every situation seizes our attention, and not a single word is out of place...It's my fervent hope...that someday we'll have the opportunity to look back on the many more stories that Deborah Eisenberg has yet to write." - Financial Times
