Reviews
"Among the true originals of contemporary American short fiction." -San Francisco Chronicle "Davis is a magician of self-consciousness. Few writers now working make the words on the page matter more." -JONATHAN FRANZEN "All who know [Davis's] work probably remember their first time reading it . . . Blows the roof off of so many of our assumptions about what constitutes short fiction." -DAVE EGGERS,McSweeney's "Sharp, deft, ironic, understated, and consistently surprising." -JOYCE CAROL OATES "The best prose stylist in America." -RICK MOODY
