"[An] excellent new collection…[Sayrafiezadeh] writes with a
veteran’s swagger and discipline…[T]he collection joins a list that
includes Leonard Michaels’s “I Would Have Saved Them if I Could,”
Lorrie Moore’s “Like Life” and Charles D’Ambrosio’s “The Dead Fish
Museum” as a second book of stories that exceeds and expands upon
the promise of the first, confirming the writer as a major,
committed practitioner of a difficult form."
*Andrew Martin - The New York Times Book Review*
"A dark and exhilarating collection."
*David L. Ulin - The Los Angeles Times*
"Skillful and controlled…[The stories in American Estrangement]
speak, at times quite powerfully, to an overriding feeling of
cultural and personal loneliness."
*Sam Sacks - The Wall Street Journal*
"[A] stellar new collection… Sayrafiezadeh is a master… His prose
has a rhythm that is startlingly original and an intense quirkiness
that catches you unaware."
*Elaine Margolin - Los Angeles Review of Books*
