Sneed possesses uncanny insight into the power dynamics in families, friendships and workplaces. Exquisitely structured, with its spotlight segueing among characters, bits of tabloids, journal entries and overheard conversations,Little Known Factsis one of those rare novels that is both profound and fun.
Sneed is a graceful prose stylist; sentence by sentenceLittle Known Factsis clean, spare and uncluttered.
Sneed's wit, curiosity, empathy, and ability to divine the perfect detail propel this psychologically exquisite, superbly realized novel of intriguing, caricature-transcending characters and predicaments.
