    I this story collection crackles with the

    energy o youth, it also eels written by a

    cool-eyed soul reincarnated at least three

    times. . . . By turns unny and pitiless, these

    tales amount to a vision. The books voice is

    unorced in its ready wit, detached compas-

    sion. There is an admirable candor. Each

    characters sexuality seems the natural

    outcome o a lie ully risked.

    Allan Gurganus, contest judge and author

    oThe Practical Heart and Oldest Living

    Conederate Widow Tells All

    I cant recall the last time I tore through a

    story collection with such unbridled gratitude.Christine Sneed is earless. She sends her her-

    oines zooming toward the disasters oretold

    in their own sot hearts, but she does so with-

    out histrionics. Shes brutally honest and

    equally tender about the manners in which

    women fnd themselves entrapped. To call her

    a rightul heir to Grace Paley and Lorrie Moore

    is accurate but insufcient. Portraits o a Few o

    the People Ive Made Cry is a stone-cold mira-

    cle, and Christine Sneed is my new hero.

    American olk art has been studied exhaus-

    tively rom the standpoint o the objects

    themselves, but Elizabeth Stillingers long-

    awaited book is the frst to take a compre-

    hensive look at the materials earliest

    collectors and their motivations. . . . The

    clarity o Stillingers writing makes her

    extraordinary intellectual synthesis not only

    accessible but appealing to laymen and

    scholars alike.

    The work o Bruce and Taeko Brooks is unique.

    . . . They have brought to the feld the proven

    methodology o Classical philology and appliedit to long unsolved problems concerning the date

    and structure o the Chinese classical texts . . . the

    result has been a revolution in the understanding

    o these texts, and in their proper use as sources

    or history.

    Christopher I. Beckwith, Indiana University

    The picture the Brookses have built up, piece

    by piece, over the years deeply alters our under-

    standing o the classical texts, o the nature othe dialogue among thinkers, and o the actual

    history o early China.

    Haun Saussy, Yale University

    Through a systematic eort, we get a general

    chronology including all the major texts, and this

    eort has shown a degree o interconnectedness
