"A masterly stylist continues her uncompromising examination of the inner life."-Kirkus Reviews “Silverman’s language is, by turns, blunt, wrenching, sophisticated, lyrical, tender, hilarious. She writes with wicked dark humor, splendid intelligence, wry wit, and honest confrontation. There’s no other book quite like it.”-Lee Martin, author of From Our House “Although many of the topics and themes in these essays are somber and sincere, Silverman’s ever-present humor sets a self-deprecating tone. . . . Readers will relate to these stories, for while they’re directly about this writer’s spiritual journey, they’re also about the universal feeling that one doesn’t quite belong, and the fact that Silverman has survived, recovered, and discovered her true self gives hope to the rest of us.” -newpages.com “Silverman’s writing is very alive. As a reader you feel immersed in her world, not just seeing it but feeling, tasting and smelling it.”-The New Book Review “Filled with warmhearted humor and profound compassion, this tour de force exploration of the search for identity is a joy to behold.”-Kaylie Jones, author of Lies My Mother Never Told Me “Silverman is the Tennessee Williams of memoir.”-Robert Vivian, author of The Least Cricket of Evening
