Media Reviews
'ASSORTED FIRE EVENTS is one of the best American collections of the last ten years. Means' stories are harrowing and funny and full-blooded, consistently satisfying in their narrative twists, and lyrical in a way that makes most contemporary literary 'lyricism' sound like greeting cards. This is food for the hungry.' Jonathan Franzen, author of THE CORRECTIONS 'An uncompromising, humane vision makes these stories almost unaccountably lovely.' New York Times Book Review 'A book that not only will educate short-story writers on the craft of the story for years to come but will also move present-day readers to surprising tears.' Los Angeles Times 'Incidents that might seem melodramatic in the hands of another writer lead instead to crystalline reflections on the limits of self-knowledge and the ways in which our past fails to define us.' New Yorker
