"Brilliant stories."
--Cory Doctorow, author of Little Brother

"There are so many smart, sweet, funny, troubling treats here about so many things--childhood, chefs, God, barber shops, the atomic bomb--that it's nearly impossible to pick a favorite. Just read them all! They're great!"
--Connie Willis, author of To Say Nothing of the Dog
