“This is a most impressive collection, confirming Böll’s standing as one of the best writers of our time. It would form an admirable introduction to his work for those who don’t yet know it. It is the work of afirmation, for it proclaims the values of humanity and the unquenchable vitality of the spirit.” —The Scotsman
"[S]ubtle yet unsettling, always with the power to provoke and to devastate." —Quarterly Conversation
