Review
“Comic, touching, delightful... The kind of book you buy multiple copies of to send to your mother and your best friends.” –People
“A model memoir... funny, sad, irreverent and generous.” –Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times
“Piercing and immediate... [a] funny, enchanting memoir of a Bronx childhood.” –The Washington Post
“[Cunningham] transforms her ‘Bronx of the emotions’ into the ‘Babylonian Bronx,’ a world simmering with sex and death and intrigue... Sharp-witted and funny but never mean, she’s a memorialist a bit like Truman Capote, if he’d been Jewish and female and less bitchy... A lovely, novelistic memoir.” –Julie Salamon, The Wall Street Journal
“Reads like a novel... You may find yourself sitting very quietly, mulling over the marvels of this truly wonderful book.” –Anne Tyler, The Baltimore Sun
“Original, quirky, poignant and hilarious.” –The Los Angeles Times
“[Sleeping Arrangements] proves that, in the hands of a talented writer, failure, dashed expectations, and sexual awkwardness can be horribly funny.” –Chicago Tribune
“One of those books that makes you sad when it ends, because you want it to go on forever.” –The Christian Science Monitor
