«Finkle is that rare writer who achieves great effects without seeming to try." - Roger Ebert, film critic of the Chicago Sun-Times «Lovely writing, smart and insightful. David Finkle';s stories have a wonderful sense of how media types talk and think, and the often unintended consequences of how they behave." - Avery Corman, author of Kramer vs. Kramer «In David Finkle';s exhilarating first-person stories, you hear the bittersweet hubbub of Manhattan: the clash of hilarity and envy, ambition and confusion, energy and terror, grandiosity and exhaustion, gay and straight, chatter and solitude. In his deft hands, 'the isle of joy'; becomes the isle of irony. Finkle';s droll and knowing prose snaps, crackles, and pops with the high and low brow." - John Lahr, senior drama critic, The New Yorker "What a great pleasure it is to read Finkle's candid stories. In a period when cynicism seems to have literature in a stranglehold, Finkle's modest and pure voice soars." - Daniel Klein, coauthor of Plato and a Platypus Walk Into a Bar...
