What They're Saying
Critics Review
“What Gifford does with just a few pages is nothing short of magical. These very short stories straddle innocence and experience, good and evil. His tales are always dense with information, yet register with dreamlike intensity and have the resonance of an epiphany.” —Jim Ruland, author of Forest of Fortune
“The Cuban Club is masterfully written, cinematic and personal. [It] captures the timeliness of loneliness and longing.” —Kate Burns, New City Lit
