"Jødisk kultur historie. Absolut interessant baggrunds beskrivelser til at forstå det jødiske folks nutidige hverdag fra alvor til surreel. Meget anderledes skrevet, fnis hører til !!!!!"
"These stories have a marvelous dark humor. Englander's imagination is amazing. The situations are absolutely crazy, but Englander makes them seem perfectly plausible. Very unique writing."
"that a man, especially one so young, could capture a woman's inner thoughts which are sometimes reflected in this collection of short stories - blows my mind"
"I thought this was a really good collection. Englander makes you care about things that you might not otherwise. The last story wasn't as powerful to me as it probably should have been, which is probably a sad statement. But I thought some of the other stories were fabulous."
