The End of Free Love - Reviews

"Given FC2's overall project, it is no surprise that Susan Steinberg's collection of short stories is formally innovative. When done poorly, playing with forms stems from gimmicks. When done well, as is the case in The End of Free Love, formal creativity unleashes a wonderful synergy between form and content."

"When you finish the tough task of reading one of Steinberg's stories, you can look forward to the more pleasurable experience of thinking and wondering about it. I tried to rush through the first step to get on with the second, but obviously it didn't work. It's a constant temptation, though. The stories' packaging - the lists, short paragraphs, long streams of consciousness, and sentences that somehow move at a high speed - invite you to consume them rapidly."
