_Review_
"Like Faulkner and O'Connor, Anderson commits his imagination to his own stamp if the universe -- the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Once again, in this collection, he delvers well-wrought stories of gravity and levity, of things fleeting, of a love of one's region."
--Kevin Cole, University of Sioux Falls
_Review_
"Lauri Anderson deftly and often humorously captures the love-hate relationship that his Finnish-American characters have with Misery Bay, their hearts' home in Michigan's Upper Peninsula.
Many of Lauri Anderson's Finns seem determined to raise their various dysfunctionalities to an art form, but through their very fallibility they tug at our hearts. As one wise old Finn advises his war-shattered nephew, 'People are really screwed up but love them anyway. They're all we have."
--Judy Hakola, Lecturer in English, University of Maine
