Media Reviews

If there were a prize for most winning writer, Mark Salzman would cop it. -The New York Times The concreteness and economy of Salzman's writing, his eye and ear for tiny resonant details . . . eventually yield their riches in a clear-eyed vision. -New York Mark Salzman is a delightful writer with a keen eye. He's full of compassion and humor. -St. Petersburg Times Salzman is a gifted storyteller, able in short order to capture the look, feel, even the smell of everyday. -The Philadelphia Inquirer
