Reviews
"The characters in Cravings demanded my full attention and my full empathy. Cohen crafts their circumstances brilliantly, revealing the moments around which the rest of their lives are tangled. Each yearns for something different, but as I turned the last page, I knew what I wanted: one more story."--Jeff Hoffmann, author of Other People's Children
"Each story in Garnett Kilberg Cohen's gorgeous new collection is a tour de force in subtlety and indirection. Everyday narratives become profound meditations upon how we process trauma, the indelible imprint of past experience upon the present, and the paradoxically fixed and fluid nature of memory. Philosophical, reflective, and attuned to the human spirit, these powerful tales will win your heart, and then ask you to wonder why."--Elizabeth Kadetsky, author of The Memory Eaters
"These are slow-savor stories. . . . Deep and humane, the short stories collected in Cravings focus on rare moments of vibrant, uncensored selfhood."--Foreword Reviews
"Through the details of everyday life, Cohen opens up a character's world. The slightest phrase evokes a flood of emotions. . . . There is good variety in the selection of these stories: they'll make you laugh, cry, or just sigh. . . . I would have liked to point to my favorite story from the collection, but I can't. I admired them all, each in its own way."--Carole Reedy, The Eye
"[Kilberg Cohen's] latest collection Cravings exemplifies her every strength. Bookended by stories titled 'Hors d'oeuvres' and 'Feast, ' her writing is filled with a deep hunger for redemption and connection. . . . For lovers of short stories, prepare to eat well with Cravings."--Chicago Review of Books
