Perhaps the most compelling aspect of Eisenberg's stories is the ease with which she captures the fearful excitement of being human, and our reluctance to acknowledge how little our circumstances have to do with our own decisions." --<i>Rachael Brown, TheAtlantic.com</i> <p/>"If you haven't discovered Deborah Eisenberg's beautifully crafted short stories, this is a good choice, because you will want to read and reread them all. These stories are rich and delicate, and linger in the memory to shift and amplify their values. Eisenberg's subtle, intelligent observations put readers in the best company." --<i>Prairie Lights Bookstore</i> <p/>"What is it like to be a genius? Ask Deborah Eisenberg.
