Praise for this book
"Quietly innovative, subtle of tone, full of feeling—this is a superb debut." - Kevin Barry
"Handle this book with care. Goodness knows where its visions end." - Claire-Louise Bennett
"Here are stories to read again and again. Here is language to live in. David Hayden is a serious force." - Sam Lipsyte
"It’s an open secret that David Hayden is one of the most interesting short story writers around. Why it’s taken this long for his first collection to be published is beyond me but I, along with anyone with even the vaguest interest in looking at modernism anew, will be queuing up for a copy." - Eimear McBride
"Hayden's hypnotic combination of oneiric situations with pinpoint language conjures Calvino or Barthleme. His stories are airborne elephants: their lightness of touch belies their emotional weight." - Joanna Walsh
