Reviews of Pieces for the Left Hand


“[An] eerie collection of anecdotes, whose very simplicity elevates them to the status of myth. Their brevity gives off a spiritual glow.”
—LOS ANGELES TIMES

“Occasionally withering and frequently hilarious, these anecdotes highlight little knots of human curiosity.”
—PUBLISHERS WEEKLY

“Darkly funny…a sly collection.”
—KIRKUS

“Pieces for the Left Hand consists of 100 very short stories . . . in which not a word is wasted, and not one of which could be cut. Despite the self--deprecating title, the collection is anything but offhand: it is a rigorous display of storytelling verve, quantity, and control. . . . It is his most perfect work so far.”
— WYATT MASON, LONDON REVIEW OF BOOKS

“A phantasmagoria of American paranoia and self-loathing.”
—JONATHAN LETHEM, DAILY TELEGRAPH BOOKS OF THE YEA

“Beautiful and amazing, Pieces for the Left Hand is a book that will leave the reader wishing for more.”
—MAGILL BOOK REVIEWS
