Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

“Powerful short stories, quietly and passionately told.”  Guardian (London)
“Burke demonstrates impressive range, sensitivity, and polish in these smaller-scale gems.” Publishers Weekly
“Even at his darkest, however, Burke’s [work] is shot through with a beauty and clarity that is simultaneously painful and a joy to behold.”  Book Reporter
“Burke’s volcanic novels of guilt, revenge and redemption wouldn’t have pegged him as a master of the highly wrought short story. Yet he’s something even better: a natural storyteller with a feeling for unequal conflicts and the pain of impotence and humiliation. Within a page or two, he can hook you.”  Kirkus Reviews
