»Der schlanke Band ist perspektivenreich und öffnet den Blick auf eine Reihe von Autoren, die man kennt und mit denen man gerechnet hätte, aber es sind auch solche dabei, die den einen oder anderen Leser überraschen werden. Und so kann der Band das weitere Nachdenken über Freiheit und Kultur anstoßen, die im 21. Jahrhundert wieder allerlei neuen Gefahren ausgesetzt sind.«

&#8220;Robinson has that rare power . . . to make a setting breathe, to invest it with a vitality that seems as authentic and intense as the pulse beats of his characters.&#8221;&#8212;The New York Times Book Review&#8220;Eleven letter-perfect stories with the keen understanding of human nature readers expect to find in works by veterans like Alice Munro.&#8221;&#8212;San Francisco Chronicle&#8220;[A] faultless debut collection. Combining vivid characters with a pulsing narrative drive, these pieces are tight like Carver&#8217;s work is tight. . . . Robinson is tremendously adept at building menace slowly, quietly, and the shocks as these stories unfold is one of their greatest pleasures.&#8221;&#8212;Esquire&#8220;If good writing is like a good suit&#8212;durable, seamless and decidedly non-flashy&#8212;then . . . Lewis Robinson [is a] master tailor. . . . skilled at observing what makes people tick and what makes them trip. . . . Amusing and satisfying.&#8221;&#8212;The Washington Post&#8220;Tight, barbed, menacing, yet also humorous . . . Men in Mr. Robinson&#8217;s fiction have a way of assessing their prospects with . . . unflinching clarity. . . . All of Mr. Robinson&#8217;s piquant characters are tested and transformed by [Point] Allison in some way. Collectively, they put the place&#8212;and the author&#8212;on the map.&#8221;&#8212;New York Times&#8220;So rich with strange characters and twists and turns of plot that it doesn&#8217;t feel like a short-story collection at all: it feels like a film festival. . . . You wouldn&#8217;t want to live in Point Allison, but Robinson makes it hard to leave.&#8221;&#8212;Newsweek&#8220;[Officer Friendly] has the lustrous finish and satisfying heft of classic craftsmanship. . . . Fully formed, totally irresistible, and refreshingly retrograde . . . [The characters&#8217;] predicaments have the unfailing power to elicit surprise, recognition and wonder. . . . Robinson has an eye for the complex misunderstandings that bind people&#8212;best friends, lovers, kids and their parents. It&#8217;s knotty, no-nonsense stuff, but Robinson works it into heirlooms.&#8221;&#8212;Los Angeles Times&#8220;The prose in Robinson&#8217;s debut collection . . . is polished to a clean, uncluttered purity. . . . Not so much stark as unpretentious and honest, these sentences seem to bore their way into the very heart of things.&#8221;&#8212;Chicago Tribune&#8220;Worth reading for the worlds of detail that Robinson tucks into his sentences . . . Robinson at his finest in this book [is] weird, thrilling, fascinating.&#8221;&#8212;The Miami Herald&#8220;Lewis Robinson feels the pulse of Maine&#8217;s conflicted heart. With unerring lucidity, his fiction captures the uneasy truce between its natives and summer people, the haves and the have-nots, those restless for more and those longing for less.&#8221;&#8212;Bangor Daily News&#8220;Robinson writes stories that feel like miniature novels, mostly because they make you desperate to know what will happen in the end. . . . A great debut.&#8221;&#8212;The Arizona Republic&#8220;These are wonderful stories. With an impeccable sense of timing and razor-sharp depictions of character, Lewis Robinson takes the reader through incidents that are too intriguing to resist: funny, unexpected, and always oddly poignant, this storyteller has a voice that pulls you right in.&#8221;&#8212;Elizabeth Strout&#8220;This guy has explosive talent. &#8216;Puckheads&#8217; is one of the best coming-of-age stories you&#8217;ll ever read. But then how does he know what a pregnant med student feels holding her own belly, cutting into a live pig, or how an old lady, slightly askew, ladling soup, saturates you with affection? He zaps you every half sentence, and soon you can almost remember how it was back in med school, but it&#8217;s just Lewis Robinson fiddling with your brain. He&#8217;s got everything under control.&#8221;&#8212;Matthew Klam&#8220;Robinson establishes himself as a writer with a seductive, edgy voice in this dark debut collection. . . . Keeping a judicious distance from his characters, Robinson allows ingenious plotting and scene-setting to drive these coolly absorbing stories.&#8221;&#8212;Publishers Weekly&#8220;Quirky . . . Crisp . . . Immediately hook[s] readers with vivid and sometimes oddball characters . . . What makes these stories so compelling is that nothing is as it seems. . . . Plots often take shocking twists, and humor arises in frankly unfunny situations.&#8221;&#8212;Library Journal&#8220;In crisp, concise prose, Robinson probes unusual aspects of the human condition in this debut collection of stories with an edge that snags the reader&#8217;s memory.&#8221;&#8212;Booklist
