What They're Saying

Critics Review

Subtle, sexy, and reflective … Quatro’s stories [have] led some to compare her work to that of Walker Percy and Flannery O’Connor … and of Lorrie Moore’s pulverizing wit … There’s so much in these stories that’s shocking. Yet there’s so much solace. * The New York Times *
A dogged, brutally thoughtful piece of work, and gives us a writer of great originality and apparent artistic maturity who seems to have come out of nowhere… . Strange, thrilling, and disarmingly honest – J. Robert Lennon * The New York Times Book Review *
Passionate, sensuous, savagely intense, and remarkable … Moves between carnality and spirit like some franker, modernized Flannery O’Connor. – James Wood * The New Yorker *
Haunting and sharp … [reminiscent] of the dark-meets-light style of Lydia Davis or Alice Munro—but it leaves room for zingers, too. Quatro is so good … the title of this debut collection isn’t just a tease. * Elle *
