"Zack Bean has put together here a wonderful and memorable collection of stories. I was surprised and delighted by the unusual landscape, sometimes lush, sometimes stark, often full of secrets and always peopled by 'bad boys' of one kind or another. Bean's masterful and original use of language throughout the book is an additional delight."—Chitra Divakaruni
