Where You Find It: Stories

Janice Galloway is a poet of uneasy intimacies.
"The Daily Telegraph" (London)

Galloway has the all-important gift of knowing when her stories end, and lethally accurate powers of observation.
"The Sunday Times" (London)

Galloway...shows once more her skill at exposing the pretensions of macho language...lead[ing] into an assured prose of menace and a world made uncanny.
"The Independent"

Galloway's narrators inevitably wear their central nervous system on the outside and heap detail upon felt detail with a vividness that is either hallucinatory or nightmarish and always unforgettable.
"The Big Issue" (London)

Tactile and unfussy, these yarns come over like some north-of-the-border Raymond Carver -- brilliantly catching the tiny triumphs, big decisions and bumping let-downs of an assortment of everyday, flesh-and-blood protagonists....A beautifully wrought gem.
