Sounds good. RReview "Ed Meek's stories don't fool around . . . We leave his stories shaking our heads and saying to ourselves, 'Yeah, I know about that, but I couldn't have said it as well.' " - Bill Littlefield, host of NPR's Only A Game "Ed Meek is a writer to be reckoned with . . . One of his protagonists says that he 'like[s] to magnify the conflict and watch the drama because otherwise it's a goddamn bore. Life, I mean.' The reader will find plenty of conflict-external and internal-in these intense perceptive fictions, whether they're set in New England, Montana, or Iran." - Miriam Kotzin, Editor and Publisher, PerContra and Contributing Editor, Boulevard "No matter how far below zero it is outside, Meek can make readers sweat behind a hot grill in Montana . . . There are no tricks to Meek's fiction. Each story's language simply asks us to dwell in Meek's swiftly turning worlds that are sketched with careful details and questions that always matter, even if we only think to ask them later for a moment or a lifetime." - Will Hochman, author of Freer and A Critical Companion to J.D.
