Reviews'Thomas Steinbeck displays the skill and reverence for a well-told story. . . . [His]attention to historical detail and quick character development put the reader at thecenter of his stories.' —The Seattle Times, 'Thomas Steinbeck has found his own voice and he exults in the sound of it.This is authentic, honest American writing. The kind of writing a father wouldbe proud of.' —Playwright Terrence McNally, 'Thomas Steinbeck shares with his father an empathy for strugglers, for life'slong sufferers who prevail through courage or die trying. These days, this isalmost antique writing and it's more than welcome.'—Book Magazine, 'Stylistically speaking, the apple doesn't fall far from the family tree in thisdebut collection by Steinbeck. . . . Steinbeck's naturalism and his accomplishedvoice make it clear that the family's literary legacy is in good hands.'—Publishers Weekly, 'There are twoSteinbecks in the world,one is John and oneis Thom, and they aretwins in excellence.'—ray bradbury
