Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

"[Hawley’s] portrait of a dysfunctional family is at once insane, tender, and hilarious.” —People
“The messy realities of life and death intrude on a family’s deeply held rationalizations. Hawley creates an unsettling, caustically funny portrait of contradictory siblings at odds with themselves, their lovers, and their wildly dysfunctional relatives…The fractured appeal of these rival siblings runs as deep as their angst. Brotherly love never hurt so good.” —Kirkus Reviews
“Ballerini has an Everyman quality that makes this all the more effective as he expresses the angst and anger and sorrow of a man whose life is spiraling out of control. The production contains a short but thoughtful foreword by the author.” —Berkshire Edge (audio review)
