Rezensionen
The god of small stories . A set of polished gems from a master craftsman . The prose is terse, the craftsmanship, as always, fine. The reader feels cradled in the capable hands of an expert Sunday Times
Ford has a gift for nimble interior monologues and a superb ear for the varieties and vagaries of human speech. His prose can strike a Hemingwayesque cadence . One page later, a sparkling note of Fitzgerald . Acutely described settings, pitch-perfect dialogue, inner lives vividly evoked New York Times Book Review
