Review
"There remain a few dedicated practitioners of the short story, and Edith Pearlman is one to be cherished... The 20 stories [inHoneydew] are vinegary, rueful, droll, humane and endlessly inquisitive. Though intricately constructed, they are slight in drama and emphasis, set down like a light footprint that nevertheless fixes itself in one's memory as though pressed in wet cement."—The Wall Street Journal
"Pearlman is our greatest living American short story writer,andHoneydewis her best collection yet."—The Boston Globe
"Pearlman's short fiction is interesting for the ways in which it combines proximity and distance... Pearlman can also move back from characters, in order to see the entire span of their lives.Then she becomes one of God's spies, condensing a life into a few sentences, taking on the power of prophecy... Pearlman's fiction brings together, with uncanny wisdom, short views and long views: the hours of lives and the length of our lives.She is tender and distant at once."—James Wood,The New Yorker
"Even though [Pearlman's] characters have feet of clay like the rest of us, they often seem to float above the ordinary world like the figures in a Chagall painting...What a pleasure to encounter a writer who can speak volumes in a few short sentences."—The Seattle Times
"Reading a Pearlman story is like entering the jet stream of some stranger's life. You feel the rush and fear and excitement, and then you exit, overcome but satisfied.Her nuanced stories, each one a small gem, explore complicated relationships and strange conundrums found in everyday life."—San Fransisco Chronicle
"If you have never read Edith Pearlman, you're in for a lovely surprise, and if you have, you're in for another treat...Honeydewis ripe with often bittersweet, unconventional love stories that somehow manage to encompass loss and pain yet reaffirm the value of living... Like Alice Munro, Pearlman deftly encapsulates whole lifetimes in compact stories by focusing on pivotal moments that reverberate over decades."—The Washington Post
"Exquisite work... Such narrative judgment and authority are a pleasure to be in the presence of... This newest book contains 20 stories in fewer than 300 pages, and even the shortest among them convey a depth and a texture well out of proportion to what their word counts might suggest them capable of."—The Chicago Tribune
"Like Alice Munro, Pearlman confronts the earthier aspects of life without a steady authorial gaze...Pearlman conveys heft and profundity in few words and with the lightest of touches;her climactic revelations are nver thudding or melodramatic, nor do her conclusions trail off disappointingly... Her stories are beautifully crafted and formally coherent...The stories in Honeydew are original, unsentimental and profoundly bizarre... unforgettable."—Commentary
"The short story master... At her best, Pearlman invigorates our curiosity about others, encouraging us to flip page after page just to see what a character ate for lunch... Pearlman's stories encourage us to sink deeply into them, and we become contented ghosts snooping on these unadorned, authentic lives... The Bottom Line: Pearlman may not be innovating the short-story form, but she's executing itperfectly."—Time Out New York
"Prepare to be dazzled.Edith Pearlman's latest, elating work confirms her place as one of the great modern short-story writers... Vivacity and zest enliven every page. Body language is wittily caught... Personalities are keenly explored.Honeydewelatingly continues the celebration of life's diversity to whichBinocular Visionso excitingly introduced us."—Sunday Times (UK)
"Honeydewwill afford an international audience another opportunity to enjoy Pearlman's distinctive and memorable fictions... Pearlman's stories--slightly old-fashioned in their use of conceit; refreshingly loose in their capacity for digression or tangent; occasionally Whartonian in the bemused and acidic clarity of their narrative eye--are sui generis...[these stories] share a particular perspective that, like a perfume, floats throughout... to make of life's everyday leavings a life-saving nectar--is perhaps, Pearlman's most consistent endeavor.She is wise, yes, but also unfailingly generous, even joyous... it certainly makes her fiction a fortifying pleasure to read."—Claire Messud,Financial Times
"Theseelegant, compassionate storiesbring 'regular' people to complex life. Pearlman's flawed characters demand your attention and win your heart."—People Magazine
"HONEYDEW is a collection of work so vivid, so true, and so vital that the reader herself comes away all the more real. How can a story do what Pearlman's stories do?She is an incomparable master."—Kelly Link, author of Magic for Beginners and Stranger Things Happen
"Edith Pearlman's work, so wise and witty, pierces right to the heart. Like Grace Paley and Penelope Fitzgerald, she can capture characters and their whole world in a few perfect lines: how does she do that?Her brilliant economy is matched only by her depth of feeling."—Andrea Barrett, author of Servants of the Map and Ship Fever
"Edith Pearlman is a contemporary master of the short story, with an utterly distinctive voice-tartly observant, unfailingly compassionate, slyly amused.HONEYDEW is a stellar collection,a wide-ranging examination of Pearlman's favorite subjects-the mysteries of love and friendship, the indignities and compensations of growing older, and the knotty complexities of the human heart."—Tom Perrotta, New York Times bestselling author of Election, Little Children, and The Leftovers
"To read an Edith Pearlman story is to sense a mysterious voice singing just under the surface of the prose; it is to be so beguiled by elegance and wit that the inexorable surging power of the story astonishes when it finally hits the reader.Honeydewis brilliant. Edith Pearlman is among the greatest of the greats."—Lauren Groff, New York Times bestselling author of Arcadia and The Monsters of Templeton
Pearlman returns with another collection of closely observed, often devastating stories . . . [She] writes with the wisdom of accumulated experience . . . Pearlman fills volumes with her economy of language . . . [and]serves up exemplary tales, lively and lovely."—Kirkus (Starred Review)
"This affecting collection periscopes into small lives, expanding them with stunning subtlety... Magical and sensual."
—Publishers Weekly (Starred Review)
"A generous collection of depth and sensitivity featuring a range of unusual characters."—O Magazine
"Edith Pearlman's short stories have often been compared with John Updike's, and the comparison is apt...All of the powerful emotions are depicted in rich, controlled prose, one of the earmarks of a Pearlman story. Whether it be for carefully dissecting her characters' feelings or observing tiny details, Pearlman reveals her acute eye time and time again... In the tradition of Joyce, Chekhov, Updike and Munro, Pearlman's surprising, memorable stories are joys to behold."—Shelf Awareness
"Pearlman repeatedly thrills us by opening up secret worlds, and it's because of the exquisite care with which these worlds are formed that we come to care deeps about her her people ("characters" just doesn't cut it)...Her stories hold a reverence for the magical, the anomalous, and the chance encounters all around us... Something about this book feels so urgent, so wise, andit had me turning pages until the wee hours."—The Millions
