"There is a simplicity to her prose, much of it is pared back and precise. It takes some skill to write so sparingly and requires a self-confidence born from experience and commitment to the craft of writing. Chinquee is a clever writer who is always in control of her material." -IndieReader

"Chinquee's measured prose breaks over the reader like shallow, slow-moving waves." -Kirkus Reviews

This is an author who knows how to take nothing for granted!" -Kyle McCord, author of Reunion of the Good Weather Suicide Cult

"To read Kim Chinquee's work is to be startled, touched and affected." -Pia Z. Ehrhardt, author of Famous Fathers and Now We are Sixty

Kim Chinquee has the dead-eye aim and the precision with language that makes her stories hit the mark again and again."

-Jean Thompson, National Book Award finalist author of Who Do You Love
