"Lynda Schor, deservedly widely published, has been honing her original and satirical voice , her writerly craft, for years, and its shows: She's an immensely gifted, completely eccentric writer, unafraid of risks, whether in form or context. She's funny, sexy, quirky, adventurous and brave. Lynda's work scares some readers, and delights others. I'm among those who are delighted."
