"Crane's stories remind us that solidarity is messy, memory is long, and the reckoning is far from over." --Booklist

"Every story is a banger, what an absolute delight." --Samantha Irby, New York Times bestselling author of Quietly Hostile

"Is there anything out in the vast world of letters quite like an Elizabeth Crane story? No, I don't think so. Sharp, witty, intense, heartbreaking, and funny, Lord, so funny. These stories are brimming with human heartache and could only have been the product of Betsy Crane's brilliant, beautiful mind." --Manuel Gonzales, author of The Regional Office Is Under Attack!

"Reading this thrillingly inventive collection, two words come to mind: deep fun. Rare is the writer who can deliver it consistently, but in one story after another, Elizabeth Crane does just that, illuminating our moment with voices as formally and socially subversive as they are wildly entertaining." --Antoine Wilson, author of Mouth to Mouth
