• Heather A. Slomski's stories are downright addictive. I kept promising myself to turn off the light after just one more, and then breaking that promise, beguiled by her cool, measured prose and by the surprises, tensions, and uncanny encounters simmering beneath its elegant surface.

• This was the feeling that Ms. Hempel couldn't shake: a conviction that she spent her days among people at the age when they are most purely themselves. How could she not be depleted when she came home, having been exposed for hours, without protection, to all those thrumming radiant selves? Here they were, just old enough to have discovered their souls, but not yet dulled by the ordinary act of survival, not yet practiced in dissembling.

• A deeply felt novel . . . The Story of Forgetting offers us both solace and illumination. Stefan Merrill Block possesses a singular mix of imagination, compassion, and scientific understanding; he is equally gifted at spinning fantastic tales as he is at bringing genetic histories to vivid life.

• Krys Lee ha escrito un libro de historias inolvidables, cada una de las cuales se apoya en la otra para crear un retrato complejo y conmovedor de la Corea contemporánea y su diáspora. Nos guía con seguridad a través de las secuelas de la guerra, la inmigración y la crisis financiera, siempre atenta a la posibilidad de ternura, trascendencia e incluso humor en el camino. Lee es una escritora que realmente entiende la soledad, pero su voz es tan atractiva, y sus percepciones tan sabias, que nos sentimos menos solos por conocer a sus personajes y experimentar sus vidas.
