East, West

Praise

“Richly nuanced, full or humor, bitter anger, an embracing tenderness, and a buyancy of language.” —Boston Globe

“One of the decade’s great literary triumphs: magical, compassionate, wise, beautiful, and so very entertaining.” —The Toronto Star

“Richly imaginative…The characters are memorable, the language swift, and the reader is touched by desire, friendship and love.” —The Globe and Mail

“A pleasure to read…The stories in East, West have the careful precision of ivory miniatures. And all of them, beneath their infectiously playful surfaces ponder the imponderables of human fate.” —Macleans’s
