From Publishers Weekly
Suburban northern New Jersey, in the vicinity of Rte. 4, is the setting for many of the amusingly perceptive vignettes in this first collection of eight stories. "Krist knows his territory and his people, pinning down their reality in a cultural ambiance that nourishes smiles of recognition," said PW.
