He writes with wisdom, and it is perhaps this wisdom that turns some of his stories of great sorrow into something triumphant.- - Andre Dubus -Thomas E. Kennedy's . . . stories pulse with humor, moral edge, and a deep sympathy for the human predicament. . . . These stories come as a gift from across the sea of a fine writer's untamed imagination.- - James Carroll, National Book Award-winner -Thomas E. Kennedy's characters are smart, full of want, significantly flawed, scared, yet often hopeful.
