About the Author:
Jessica Francis Kane's short stories have appeared in the Missouri Review, Michigan Quarterly Review, Virginia Quarterly Review, and Salt Hill. She lives in Charlottesville, Virginia with her husband.
Review:
"...Kane write(s) in the tradition of Alice Munro or Russell Banks stories that are small windows onto ordinary, troubled lives." -- Newsday, Tom Beer, August 18, 2002

"Characters...give voice to the ceaseless yearnings that - so Kane's volume suggests - preoccupy us almost from the cradle to...grave." -- Kirkus Reviews

"Each story...captures these people...in the troublesome middle of unbearable sameness and the untidiness of life....Well-written and entirely credible." -- Seattle Times, August 11, 2002

"Kane's debut collection is achingly, pitch-perfectly sad, detailing painful adult awkwardness and the lost respect of beloved children." -- U.S. News & World Report, August 12, 2002

"Kane's sparse but poignant writing satisfies...(these) heartrending stories will convince even the optimist that some sad stories need telling." -- San Francisco Chronicle, August 18, 2002

"Kane's style is direct yet nuanced, and all her characters feel authentic; this is an impressive debut." -- Publishers Weekly

"The 11 stories in this slim, sophisticated volume...offer readers an extraordinarily wide range of characters and themes." -- Ann Arbor News

"This exquisite collection of stories examines ordinary people trying to explain their failures to themselves or others...Highly recommended." -- Library Journal

"You'll be thrilled at what you find: short stories that are bright, elegant, graceful and imaginative." -- The Buffalo News, Charity Vogel, September 8, 2002
