"In his expertly crafted collection of flash, Gary Duncan offers us a 20-20 glimpse of postmodern society with its quirkiness and deviance. A must read that you can't put down." - Pulitzer nominee Niles Reddick, author of Drifting Too Far From the Shore; "Wide-ranging and wise, You're Not Supposed to Cry is a wonderfully human and often humorous exploration of the timeless and the everyday. A thoughtful and engaging collection of flashes that is sure to become part of the flash fiction canon. It is very good." - Peter Blair and Ashley Chantler, Directors, The International Flash Fiction Association; "Gary Duncan's stories will tickle you one moment and slap you in the face the next. They'll bite, scratch, caress, and hold you. Whether Duncan's stories leave you shocked or amused, you will remember them." - Santino Prinzi, author of Dots: And Other Flashes of Perception; "Gary Duncan's stories are sharply incisive slices of life, sometimes comic, sometimes tragic, sometimes both." - Paul D. Brazil, author of The Last Laugh and Guns of Brixton
