"Instead of bringing Schulz to us, so to speak, Underhill engages in the far more laborious, courageous, and gratifying task of bringing us to Schulz—allowing readers to engage with his entire cosmos, rather than treating individual stories as test cases for our newest critical theories or personal projects. Ultimately this immersive approach does bring Schulz to us, and does so in a far deeper and more provocative way than would otherwise have been possible. Underhill's book demonstrates how our moment has finally caught up with a literary and aesthetic ethos that was vibrant and generative a century ago in Bruno Schulz's Galicia."—Kata Gellen, Duke University, In Geveb, A Journal of Yiddish Studies
