"The portraits are at once funny and sad but they are portraits in the round, of people understood and accepted, and in their strong individuality, a touch of universality. A model demonstration of the uses of memory."--The New Yorker

"An immensely artful book, which is to say that the care its author has taken with his arrangements ensures the illusions of truth."--Newsweek

"The novelist's willingness to reshape time for meaning guides this memoir; so does the photographer's ability to focus, frame and crop for impact. An elegant book."--Los Angeles Times
