The Lit Pub posted a review of my tiny collection of stories. Many thanks to Erin Fitzgerald for the thoughtful words. Here's a short excerpt:
"As an expatriate, I have a particular fondness for writers who are influenced by western New York. Their stories are infused with fatalism and the resulting grim humor that seemed to permeate my own childhood. Reading stories by writers like Nicholson Baker, Joyce Carol Oates, Shirley Jackson, and George Saunders is satisfying. For me, sometimes it's also like going home. I have the same experience when I read stories by Rochester's own Ravi Mangla, and especially his new collection, Visiting Writers."
