This cleanly and powerfully written collection puts one in mind of certain eminent writers of the West—Wallace Stegner, David Vann, and the Kerouac of Dharma Bums—forming, unlike many story collections, a unity of mood and theme, and putting on display some high-level literary chops. Mr. Schwartz feels strongly and the storms of emotion in his stories lead to deep skies.
—Robert Roper, author of Nabokov in America: On the Road to Lolita, and Fatal Mountaineer: The High-Altitude Life and Death of Will Unsoeld
