Like all Driscoll’s stories, the ones in this brilliant new
collection beg to be read aloud. This is one of the highest compliments
I can pay to a work of prose—that its language is so rich, its
rhythms so musical, its voice so dense that it deserves to be savored,

and the arc of this book as a collection is beautiful and deliberate.
