'One of the most soulful writers in America, and a national
treasure' George Saunders
From a master of the short story, this is a beguiling collection of
nineteen tales about growing up, wising up and falling in love

Henry Prizes. His fiction, poetry, and nonfiction have appeared widely in journals such as Harper's, Poetry, Tin House, the Atlantic, and the New Yorker.
One of the most soulful writers in America, and a national
treasure
*George Saunders*
A poet of the short story, Stuart Dybek is a strange and
exceptional talent… Impressive.
*Sunday Times*
[Dybek’s stories] are strikingly with-it, distinctly 21st century
in their shape and method… Dybek has also always stirred
understated, powerfully realized and ravishingly beautiful images
almost casually into his work.
*Guardian*
[The Start of Something is] worth leaping on.
*Observer*
A great deal of the art of the short story is to do with exits and
entrances… [Dybek] has a knack for getting both things right… Dybek
is – and this he certainly has in common with Ishiguro – a writer
doing completely his own thing.
