He writes prose of gravity and grace
*Guardian*
One of the shrewdest observers of the way we live now
*Independent*
Park is an excellent writer; psychologically astute, lyrically
unflinching
*Daily Telegraph*
Park brings his celebration of language, and humanity, to every
page
*Daily Mail*
He is an astute storyteller whose vision is sustained by instinct,
intelligent observation, and a sense of responsibility
*Irish Times*
David Park is one of my favourite writers. This beautiful, nuanced,
perceptive collection of stories is a considerable achievement.
Somehow he writes with both grace and muscularity, and every page
resounds with the sort of truthfulness that stirs deep recognitions
in the reader. This is important, committed work from a writer who
knows what he's about, but Park is also such a pleasure to read. I
loved this book
*Joseph O'Connor*
