"The story is first-rate Phillips, tough, unsparing, desperate, bitterly true....we see America in the harsh and brilliant light of its essential emptiness. Jayne Anne Phillips is a solid mainstream American writer in the grand traditions from Dreiser to Welty. She sees and she tells, and makes up weep for it"---Andrei Codrescu.
