Críticas:

"I was in thrall to these sentences, their music, their compassion and truth and disarming humility." - Sam Michel, Juniper Prize for Fiction judge and author of Strange Cowboy; "Joan Frank is a human insight machine." - Carolyn Cooke, author of Amor and Psycho: Stories "Joan Frank is a writer of sublime power who reveals the lives of her characters with such care, insight, and elegance, that deeply buried feelings of victory and loss become inextricably bound up with our own." - Simon van Booy, author of Father's Day

Reseña del editor:

All The News I Need probes the modern American response to inevitable, ancient riddles- of love and sex and mortality. Frances Ferguson is a lonely, sharp- tongued widow who lives in the wine country. Oliver Gaffney is a painfully shy gay man who guards a secret and lives out equally lonely days in San Francisco. Friends by default, Fran and Ollie nurse the deep anomie of loss and the creeping, animal betrayal of aging. Each loves routine but is anxious that life might be passing by. To crack open this stalemate, Fran insists the two travel together to Paris. The aftermath of their funny, bittersweet journey suggests those small changes, within our reach, that may help us save ourselves-somewhere toward the end.
