“From the first rhythmic and unfettered line [HATS & BATS] thrums with heat, love, outrage and possibility. In the narrative and in the writing, barriers are ripped down. In this world, the inhabitants don’t sleep when exhausted, but burn, mingling in streets of fire, violence and protest. The story is about war, but a glittering war, wherein the soldiers—as always in our American streets—are the young and dispossessed. It made me think of Orwell in his early down and out life in Paris and London. It brims with honesty, clarity and a driving crystal-vision. Somehow, miraculously, the author manages to turn this war story towards a glorious new future coming.” — Robin McLean

“What I admired most about [You Belong in Gray] was its attention to lived detail. It reminded me that the real reason for such close attention to human behavior and to the rhythms of all cultures—workplace, family, identity—is not to convince us of the truth of the world but to test, and force us to dispose of, our assumptions. A beautifully crafted and realized story.” — Hasanthika Sirisena
