few literary works have better demonstrated their veracity lately than this glorious collection
Pankaj Mishra
FINANCIAL TIMES
Some of these stories are comic masterpieces, some embody as dark a vision of the universe as you are likely to encounter and all of them showcase a writer grappling with the great questions of modern life.
GRANTA
Englander has written a fine collection, as intricately patterned across its length as a novel, although its stories are set in various decades and locations... a book of cautious, crafted, crafty stories that catch you off guard again and again.
THE SUNDAY TIMES
This collection of short stories is covered with enthusiastic quotes from American literati. "This," you may think, "is either going to be fantastic or hyped nonsense." Thankfully, it's the former.
EMERALD STREET
A remarkable collection
THE GUARDIAN
The titular story - a twist on Raymond Carver's, of a similar name - jumps from brilliant Woody Allen-esque dialogue and comedy to darkness.
THE INDEPENDENT
Englander deals with powerful questions of morality, history and vengeance.
THE DAILY TELEGRAPH
His stories are moving and thought-provoking, pwerful and hilarious by turns.
NEWBOOKS magazine
An amusing and moving collection.
THE SUNDAY BUSINESS POST
This collection by one of America's best short-story writers displays his inimitable capacity to shock, sadden and simultaneously entertain in his explorations of Jewish history and politics.
