Reviews

Passionate, sensuous, savagely intense, and remarkable . . . Moves between carnality and spirit like some franker, modernized Flannery O'Connor.
Subtle, sexy, and reflective . . . Quatro’s stories [have] led some to compare her work to that of Walker Percy and Flannery O’Connor. I also picked up metal-detector traces of Jayne Anne Phillips . . . and of Lorrie Moore’s pulverizing wit. . . . In order to be good at big things, writes must be good at small ones. Quatro’s details resonate. . . . There’s so much in these stories that’s shocking. Yet there’s so much solace.
Haunting and sharp . . . [reminiscent] of the dark-meets-light style of Lydia Davis or Alice Munro – but it leaves room for zingers, too. Quatro is so good . . . the title of this debut collection isn’t just a tease.
A dogged, brutally thoughtful piece of work, and gives us a writer of great originality and apparent artistic maturity who seems to have come out of nowhere. . . . Strange, thrilling, and disarmingly honest . . . Provides the most engaging literary treatment of Christianity since Flannery O’Connor, without a hint of the condescension the subject often receives in contemporary fiction.
