Media Reviews
A poignant portrait of... two generations, and the clashes, gulfs and 'unbreakable unity' between them... his best stories view his characters with such sharpness that the wider significances never seem forced. * Independent *
Many of the stories in this fine collection have a strange clairvoyance; they are dark with the threat of imminent catastrophe. * Observer *
Schwartz had been a pioneer, a golden boy, an exemplar to those who followed him... As for the stories in this reprinted collection, the more expressionist their mode is, the more widely they stray from the canons of naturalism, so the more compelling and affecting they become. * New Statesman *
