Reviews

Terse, funny, poignant, honest--like Malamud's before him, Leonard Bernstein's stories attempt to sanctify the ordinary, and in the process they provide the reader with an experience as humanizing as it is entertaining. --Steve Stern, author of The Frozen Rabbi

Most of Bernstein's stories end with the literary equivalent of a shrug -- a distinctive New York gesture. These stories are both quaint and timeless, a fanciful addition to the literature of place... --Maureen Corrigan, Fresh Air
