"I normally have trouble with short stories; they end too soon and I have difficulty erasing the memory of one as I move on to the next. However these are meaty, long, beautifully crafted stories all around the central theme of love or lack of love. My real favourites were The Other Man and Sugar Peas. He is such a good author."
"An astounding array of brilliant short stories sharing a broad theme on the nature of emotional connection. Profoundly moving and sad in a dream-like confrontation of mind and body as well as reality and hope. Well worth the time spent in speculating over Schlink's existential themes and black humor."
