“dazzling, breathtaking, brilliant…as though someone gave James Joyce a two-line summary of “Flowers for Algernon” and told him to write a story”

“shrewdly and poignantly questions what it means to be human – definitely a best of ‘The Year’s Best’”

“a remarkable story…gentle, sensitive…gets under our skin as the best fiction does”

“a standout”

“compelling…unconventional…satisfying”

“packs an emotional and intellectual punch…haunting”
