"A glimpse into the lives of post-war Hungarian emigres in Montreal, mourning the loss of the Old World and struggling to decode the New. With style and wit, Alapi explores brutality in all its guises, and the heroism needed to confront it."
--- Claire Holden Rothman, author of Lear's Shadow

"'My Brother's Keeper,' the novella in this excellent collection stands out, in particular. It is equal parts memoir, travelogue, history lesson and damned good story. Rightly or wrongly, I couldn't help thinking of 'The Painted Bird', of which it's somehow redolent. No matter what you as a reader decide it mostly is, it's always entertaining for sure. Zsolt Alapi has another winner on his hands."
--- Mark SaFranko, author of Hating Olivia, Loners and Nowhere Near Hollywood

"Zsolt Alapi has a unique gift and it's one that most writers would kill to possess: he can move effortlessly from the poetic to the erotic, from the gritty to the heartbreaking often in the space of a single paragraph. It's a rare talent and one that he uses to full effect in this outstanding collection."
--- Tony O'Neill, author of Down and Out on Murder Mile and Sick City, on The Dance of the Seven Dwarfs by Zsolt Alapi
