I was in a meeting on Friday morning when my wife texted me to call home immediately. I feared an emergency, instead she alerted me to this attentive review from Steven W. Beattie in the National Post:
"...Vigna is a very serious writer, indeed. The men in Vigna’s tales resort
to physical brutality as an expression of a kind of existential
yearning; on a thematic level, these are stories of paralysis — of
characters’ inability to rise above their circumstances — that owe as
much to the work of Beckett and Joyce as to Hemingway and O’Connor."
Full review is here.
