"Splendidly strange...the stories are gleefully genre-busting...yet their invention is always grounded in the tangible struggles the characters face...an epiphany about our shared American reality that is all the more startling for its brutal familiarity...a must-read."
–Kirkus, starred review "An astounding collection from a rare talent."
–Booklist, starred review "[Cotman] utilizes magical conceits and pop culture references to probe America's legacy of racism in this striking collection...The distinctive and troubled characters make these stories stand out. Cotman's versatile talents are on full display."
