Recensioner i media

"In his debut story collection, Joseph Salvatore presents characters damaged and yet dignified, yearning for something that they seem unable to identify, much less to ask for... Salvatore's stylized writing coaxes readers into murky territories as his characters spiral deeper into existential rabbit holes."--Calandra Italian American Institute
