Startlingly Good

DeMarco writes with a delicate touch, a compassionate sense of humor, and a great sense of atmosphere. The places are real, the people complex and interesting, and the plotting full of surprises. At several times in reading this book I laughed out loud. There is much here to delight.

These stories poke fun at college professors and religion, examine the complex mathematics of finding both love and the proverbial needle in a haystack, and deftly probe the boundary between imagination and reality. From a dying man who makes a blanket for himself from his favorite books to a young boy who discovers love in the unlikeliest form, the characters come wonderfully to life.
