From the Publisher:
In Kelly Cherry's hands, moral dilemmas are both mirthful and exalted; and her heroine's voice is a slangy mixture of irony and sensibility. Kelly Cherry is a poet, fiction writer, and essayist. Her five novels include My Life and Dr. Joyce Brothers, Augusta Played and In The Wink of an Eye. (Boson Books offers both a diskette and an online edition of Wink.) Her four books of poetry include God's Loud Hand and Natural Theology. Her nonfiction books are The Exiled Heart: A Meditative Autobiography and Writing the World. Cherry's short fiction has been represented in Best American Short Stories, Prize Stories: The O. Henry Awards, and The Pushcart Prize. For her poetry she has received the Hanes Prize. Sick and Full of Burning was both her first novel and her first book.
Review:
"A just about perfect first novel-bright, sassy, sad and with talent, well, to burn," said Kirkus (starred review).

Publisher's Weekly said that "what critics find so lacking in much feminist literature(humor, satire, genuine pathos(this literate novel about a young woman consistently displays."

The Chicago Tribune Book World exclaimed, "A flawless first novel? You gotta be kidding! No kidding."

And John Barkham, writing in The Philadelphia Inquirer, announced, "Ms. Cherry writes like a whiz." -- From the Publisher
