This is a book full of poems that cry out to be learned by heart. These are poems that will, for years to come, be stored in our bloodstream.

By reporting the depth of those gruesome hours in Memorial before the helicopters came, and giving weight to medical ethics as grounded in the law, Sheri Fink has written an unforgettable story. Five Days at Memorial is social reporting of the first rank.

This book is a gift, a map and a necessity, relevant for every reader who wants to understand their own time.

Smart, witty and weirdly convincing… Pop culture is political to Hornby. Beneath this latest book’s stocking-filler-light surface, you can sense a subtle sort of crusade. By pairing these two artists, he’s making a couple of implicit assertions — that Prince is as important as Dickens and that Dickens is as fun as Prince.

Deeply moving, even uplifting…demands to be read.

This is a propulsive, soulful story of mourning and gratitude—and an intimate portrait of one woman’s sojourn in the wilderness between life and death.

Smart and funny and sharp… I loved it.

Fascinating…. The true subject of this unforgettable book is female bonding and the ties that even bars can’t unbind.

An important memoir that should be required reading for anyone who has never struggled with poverty.
