Recenzii

“In these splendid, austere stories, we see the sins of the fathers visited again and again upon the bewildered and suffering children, and the children preparing again and again to become sinful fathers. Falco enters into the despairing late 20th century world and brings back tales that make us shudder, but that are shot through, too, with the possibility of love and commitment.” —Ellen Douglas, author of Can’t Quit You, Baby





 

“I have long been an admirer of Edward Falco’s stories. They convey an intensity of  feeling that all too many contemporary stories are missing. A Falco story can be depended on to be interesting—keenly observed and deeply explored—compelling in a way that makes one want to read every word.” —Stuart Dybek, author of The Coast of Chicago

 

“The stories in Acid are remarkably poised and dramatic about the choices we make to conserve our moral equilibriums in a dangerous world. They are skillfully achieved, apt and moving. . . .” —Richard Elman, author of Tar Beach
