Praise for Calabro's previous works: "Echoes of Pirandello and Calvino punctuate The Cousin, best described as tragic surrealism." -- The Globe and Mail " The short story A Glass of Wine is] ... a subtly subversive piece of fiction." -- Descant " Bellecour] is a small masterwork of erotic candour and psychological acuity." -- The Globe and Mail
