Editorial Review
Few literary debuts (and even fewer story collections) generate the kind of heated excitement and critical adoration that have greeted WHEN THE MESSENGER IS HOT-but Elizabeth Crane is the exception to many rules. Her stories, celebrated for their hilarity, their wry and intimate tone, and their keen insight, buzz with the acute ache of first loves and first heartbreaks, death and resurrection, addiction and recovery. The women whose lives Crane so tenderly yet unflinchingly opens up to us experience love and loss in a way that is at once uniquely their own and universal.
