"Superb. It is a slow, beautiful dance of love and death."–Chicago Tribune Book World
"[White's] style in this collection of stories is taut and his language knowing, almost savage, in its ironies. Never does he swerve from a tone of complete authority, nor are his portrayals of human frailty ever less than bitingly perceptive."–Baltimore Sun
"White is a shifty, complex artist with the ability to hit and run at any point in his narrative -maintaining a distance from emotional involvement while inexorably tightening those screws."–Kirkus
