Reviews
"le Grange shows in this novella, human beings hold on hard to their secrets, lies, hopes, and fantasies. For all these characters, whatever their dreams may have been, le Grange shows that their realities are powerless and sordid.
Pain, loneliness, humiliation, and grief underlie these atomized, broken lives." Kirkus Reviews
"A novella made from nine individual tales accompanied by suggestively mystifying photographs - surrounding the profoundly disturbing moment when a body falls to its death ... how can there be such beauty in the emptiness of life, and so much life in the emptiness of such beauty?" - Readers' Favorite
