Advance Praise
‘A natural storyteller.’—James Wood, New Yorker
‘Garner’s stories share characteristics of the
postcard: they flash before us carefully recorded images that remind us of
harsher realities not pictured. And like postcards they are economically
written, a bit of conversation is transcribed, a memory recalled, an event
noted, scenes pass as if viewed from a train—momentarily, distinct and
tantalizing in their beauty.’—New York
Times
‘A perfect introduction for first-timers who have
not yet experienced the pleasures of Garner’s writing.’—Sydney Morning Herald
