About the Author
Reviews
"We Loved the World But Could Not Stay: Gary Lippman's
title alone feeds a reader with twenty-three times more intrigue than most of the recent
novels in a big city bookstore combined.
And just wait until you pilot your brain boat into these uncharted
literary waters. Inflate your life vest,
say a little prayer, and enjoy the ride."
-Tom Robbins, Even Cowgirls Get the Blues
"A thing of beauty, this book. The concern might be that in setting
such a
rigid and economic boundary, a limiting might occur. The opposite is
true for Gary Lippman. In his constraint he has found an explosive
creativity and a greater imagination that certainly doesn't disappoint.
Wondrous stuff."
-Matthew Rhys, actor, The Americans and Perry Mason
"I love short stories and these are the shortest ones I've
ever read. And yet they have all the
elements of my favorite shorts-amazing characters, compelling situations and
beautiful cliffhangers."
--Laurie Anderson, multi-media artist
