"[Fulton] writes like an old master in this powerful collection of short stories [and displays] a pentrating honesty that is worlds away from jukebox sentiment. Most impressive of all is his uncanny insight, reminiscent of J. D. Salinger, into the inner life of children." --The Boston Sunday Globe
"[These] dynamic stories . . . cover some tough emotional terrain in a delicately quirky voice that's just right for revealing life's dangers, debauches, and dead ends." --Elle
"A revelation in the controlled wildness of their tone and subject matter. They combine comedy and desperation in about equal measure, but they also contain a surprising tenderness, particularly concerning children and what they have to endure to become adults." --Charles Baxter
