"The collection conveys a sense of overflowing inventiveness, never retaining the same tone or form from one story to the next and including such experiments as a two-page sketch of a doomed love and a pair of biographies of ne'er-do-well eccentrics, portrayed via annotated lists of their record and book collections....Some of these sportive offerings are dazzlingly successful, but their overall effect is wearing....The result...is a set of exercises too miscellaneous to add up...to the literary equivalent of an artist's patterned exhibition of new work."

John Dugdale, Literary Review, November 2000

"The best of these stories push creatively at the short-story form, and offer insights, though not solutions, into how we try to give shape and continuity to our lives."

Robert MacFarlane, Times Literary Supplement, 10/27/2000
