Description: Zivkovic masterfully filters memory and art through absurdism in this limited edition collection. ...the collection, which neither has nor needs mainstream appeal; fans of Zivkovic's unclassifiable quirkiness will quickly snap [it] up...-Publishers Weekly ...an elegant, perhaps even joyful, meditation on the existentialist's main concern: if darkness shrouds the past, and darkness lies ahead, then what is the best response to this brief interval of light? Zivkovic's characters-all of whom with one exception have chosen, as the poet George Oppen wrote, "the meaning of being singular"-face their exits with curiosity and courtesy...-Anil Menon, Strange Horizons The stories are consistently humorous yet concerned with a fairly grave subject, the afterlife. Only Peter S. Beagle's work dazzles like Zivkovic's.-Ray Olson, Booklist Zivkovic rarely hits a wrong note or has a false step in the course of telling these stories, illustrating perhaps that sometimes a well-told tale just might still be one of the most effective ways of communication around.-Larry Holmes, Blog of the Fallen
