They seem ordinary people engaged in ordinary lives until betrayals, accidents and misfortune put the puzzles of their weak choices and unfair chance into stark relief when they are left with a kind of clarity they might have been happier not to have. -- Perry Glasser, author of Dangerous Places
Faulkner said that an author's job is to make the extraordinary seem ordinary and to make the ordinary seem extraordinary, and in Petty Offenses this is what Waldman accomplishes. While reading the stories you may wonder "Is there any place safe to go?," but you will be glad that you spent time in Waldman's world. -- Hardy Jones, author of Every Bitter Thing, at Cybersoleil Journal
The stories in Petty Offenses and Crimes of the Heart leave the reader wondering who is the real criminal. . . .These characters have something to share -- something profound, something personal, and something that reveals a little about ourselves. -- TCM Reviews
Truly a beautiful collection of stories about ordinary people living ordinary lives until various circumstances come along and change everything. One of the best books read so far this year! The perfect balance of a fantastic writing style, character development, and human emotion. Highly recommended. -- Online Book Club
Beautifully crafted stories..."Missing Pieces..".is an example of Waldman's versatility as a writer. . .Each of these stories can be read as self-contained compositions but I would recommend you read them in sequence to experience the themes to unfold as most satisfyingly do. --Dean Cowan, Bookpleasures.com
In Petty Offenses, subtle paradoxes & paradigmatic shifts undermine the reader's sense of stable themes. Waldman's writing...by not calling attention to itself all the more reveals everyday life as taking place on a far grander scale than we imagine. - Paul A. Toth, author of Airplane Novel
In [his] collection of short fiction...Mitchell Waldman talks on many topics throughout recent history and the struggles to understand an impossible to understand world. With poignancy and wisdom peppered throughout, Petty Offenses & Crimes of the Heart is a read that is well worth considering, highly recommended. -- Midwest Book Review
Waldman gives the reader a full buffet of crimes and offenses; from large to small, physical to mental and subtle to spectacular. There's something to chew on and sink your teeth into. --Timothy Gager, author of Treating a Sick Animal: Flash and Micro Fictions
