Praise for Lantern Slides
“Superb . . . [Lantern Slides] continues the quest for origin and explanation that has preoccupied O’Brien . . . Her stories unearth the primeval feelings buried just below the surface of nostalgia, using memories to illuminate both what is ridiculous and what is heroic about passion.”—David Leavitt, The New York Times Book Review
“Her stories are brilliantly realized and often very funny . . . O’Brien is quite simply one of the finest short story writers of our time.”—Joyce Carol Oates
"A newly reissued collection of stories from the author of Girl, 'one of the most celebrated writers in the English language.'”—NPR’s Weekend Edition
