If our culture can produce a writer this wonderful, there must be something beautiful about us yet. <strong>George Saunders</strong></p><p>Instead of forcing her characters stories into neat, arbitrary, preordained shapes, [Eisenberg] allows them to grow organically into oddly shaped, asymmetrical narrativesnarratives that possess all the surprising twists and dismaying turns of real life. <strong>New York Times</strong></p><p>Deborah Eisenberg, one of Americas finest writers, offers new ways of seeing and feeling, as if something were being perfected at the core. <em><strong>San Francisco Chronicle</strong></em></p><p>Reading [Eisenberg] makes you wish, as you study the family in front of you in the grocery line, that you could see their thoughts rendered as one of Eisenbergs stunning inner monologues. <em><strong>Los Angeles Times</strong></em></p><p>...[S]uperlative and entertaining...Eisenberg is funny, grim, biting, and wise, but always with a light touch and always in the service of worlds that extend far beyond the page. A virtuoso at rendering the flickering gestures by which people simultaneously hide and reveal themselves, Eisenberg is an undisputed master of the short story. <strong><em>Publishers Weekly</em> (starred review)</strong></p><p>[Eisenberg] is always worth the wait...so instantly absorbing that it feels like an abduction...This book offers no palliatives to its characters or to its readers no plan of action. But it is a compass. <strong>The New York Times</strong></p><p>Eisenberg is a gorgeous writer...I thank my stars that theres a writer in the increasingly imperiled world as smart and funny and blazingly moral and devastatingly sidelong as she is. <em><strong>New York Times Book Review</strong></em></p><p>Every character is memorable, every situation seizes our attention, and not a single word is out of place...Its my fervent hope...that someday well have the opportunity to look back on the many more stories that Deborah Eisenberg has yet to write. <em><strong>Financial Times</strong></em></p>...(*_*)9780062688798_<p>A much-anticipated collection of brilliantly observant short stories from one of the great American masters of the form.</p><p>At times raucously hilarious, at times charming and delightful, at times as solemn and mysterious as a pond at midnight, Deborah Eisenbergs stories gently compel us to confront the most disturbing truths about ourselvesfrom our intimate lives as lovers, parents, and children, to our equally troubling roles as citizens on a violent, terrifying planet.</p><p>Each of the six stories in <em>Your Duck is My Duck</em>, her first collection since 2006, has the heft and complexity of a novel.
