Reviews
"In Garber's uncanny tales the margins of real and imaginary, human and animal, give way to an eerie domain of magical ambiguity. . . . These are provocative stories, vividly written, and full of surprisesthe work of a grandly talented storyteller."
William Kennedy, Pulitzer Prize winner

"In Eugene Garber's almost real stories . . . characters rather like you and me struggle to balance love and guilt, passion and obsession, while shadowy but transcendent figures around them suffer on a mythic scale to put their problems in relief for them. Underneath there is always a powerful story pumping and pumping, carrying everything with it."
Norman Lavers, author of The Northwest Passage
