Critics Review
“Christian Burch – David Sedaris meets Mary Poppins – is who we’ve all been waiting for. He is a smart, warm, and very funny writer who has something new to say about how we all have to find a way to fit into each other’s lives. Save yourself a trip back to the bookstore and buy a dozen copies of The Manny Files right now. You’ll want to give this book to everyone you care about and everyone who cares about you. This isn’t just a wonderful book, it’s an important book.” – Alexandra Fuller, author of Don’t Let’s Go to the Dogs Tonight“Meet Matthew, an unconventional male nanny (or manny, as he puts it), whose mantra is ‘Be interesting!’ Christian Burch’s groundbreaking novel is just that, as well as being a wildly funny, large-hearted, and sweet-spirited celebration of the many differences that make our lives so, well, interesting!” – Michael Cart, editor of Rush Hour: Face, A Journal of Contemporary Voices
