“Pick up Josef Skvorecky's When Eve Was Naked and, I promise, you will be enriched, enlightened, entertained and more...I can't say enough about the delights of this volume. It's wise, it's witty, it's poignant, it's wry.” —The Washington Post
“The stories read to some extent like a diary, capturing an emotional landscape in lucid detail...A delight only Skvorecky could write.” —The New York Times Book Review
“The twenty-four stories in this collection are bubbles in time, verbal dioramas depicting a benign quality (innocence, comfort or just amiable confusion) destined for extinction. Refreshingly, Skvorecky...handles the heaviness of his material with a feather touch.” —San Francisco Chronicle
