Review:
''These stories have all of poetry's virtues -- care for language, joy in the sheer sounds of words, and evocative power...beautiful to listen to.'' --Anne Tyler, New York Times bestselling author
''Eccentric, visionary pieces...[with] all the force of illumination and even prophetic power.'' --New York Times Book Review
''Her first collection is flecked with individuality and talent especially in the more ironic sequences...Kincaid shows vivid promise in this slim debut.'' --Kirkus Reviews
''She jumps with grace and ease from the mundane to the enormous, and, fascinated, we believe her.'' --Village Voice
''Hers is a voice you have never heard before...Exhilarating to read and impossible to forget.'' --Washington Post Book World
''The voice -- incantatory, lyric, rhapsodic -- is closer to the condition of poetry and music than to fiction in any of its ordinary registers.'' --Publishers Weekly
