'Paul Stasi's book refuses a simple story of realism vs modernism in which one is a passive reflection and the other a stylized rejection of how things areInstead he yokes them together as valuable resources for imagining how things might be.' Times Literary Supplement
'Recommended.' T. Bonner, Jr, Choice
