“What I find most compelling, even startling, about these stories is the urgency of feeling and the calm beauty of the telling.” —Alice Munro, author of Hateship, Friendship, Courtship, Loveship, Marriage
“‘The Deep’ marks the deep strangeness of the project of being alive....It rescues the past—a particular slice of the past, the frequently limned period of the First World War—from the dead life of a museum piece....I chose this story as first among so many strong others because of its utter originality, its daring to assert the primacy of complexity and mystery, its avoidance of the current appetite for ironic anomie and thinness. It flowers entirely on its own terms, and the terms are rich and strange.” —Mary Gordon, author of The Shadow Man
