“What really amazes me about Katey’s writing is that she has been able to get inside the minds of people in war. She has an uncanny ability to take the reader into the scenes, the villages, the lives of the people who are experiencing war. She captures perfectly the complex emotions of the soldiers in combat, the people of the country where they fight, the returning warriors, their families and friends as each tries to make sense of their lives. She’s a unique and very, very talented writer.” –Jack Segal, former senior US diplomat and Vietnam veteran
“ . . . a deceptively minimalist style that out-Carvers Carver and exposes the traumas of war without any breast-beating outrage.”
–Los Angeles Review of Books
" . . . these tales are startlingly personal and expose the hearts, minds, and often weary spirits of the characters. Schultz writes crisp, unassuming prose and uses stunning imagery to illuminate otherwise foreign--and even not-so-foreign--hardships."
