PRESS ASSOCIATION 20120223 There is high literary talent here... enjoy Englander's mastery of the simplest, and hardest, form of writing - storytelling. THE HERALD 20120218 2012 preview: acclaimed US writer Nathan Englander explores ideas of Jewish identity -- Claire Allfree METRO 20120103 Englander's prose is simply beautiful, whether in dialogue or third-person; precise and poised, able to introduce the grit of reality while preserving the balance of the sentence THE SCOTSMAN 20120225 takes vignettes from Jewish life and explores them with a humane understanding of the human condition in all its paindul absurdity, lending them a universal signifance... a small masterpiece of tragic restraint. DAILY MAIL 20120305 Mr Englander knows where to hold back, a particular gift when writing about and around the martyr of his title, the locked up and locked in... Terrific collection. INTERNATIONAL HERALD TRIBUNE 20120218 It requires great control and confidence to operate with any consistency at the point where humour grates so excrutiatingly against calamity. In the best of this collection, Englander proves he has both. -- Tim Martin DAILY TELEGRAPH 20120324 will leave you open-mouthed.

What We Talk About When We Talk About Anne Frank showcases Englander's comic genius and lacerating vision of human nature as never before, in stories that are audacious, expertly crafted, and often unforgettably beautiful. The best work yet from a true American treasure -- Gary Shteyngart Pre-publication praise It takes an exceptional combination of moral humility and moral assurance to integrate fine-grained comedy and large-scale tragedy as daringly as Nathan Englander does. His writing is liberal in every good sense of the word. -- Jonathan Franzen Pre-publication praise Nathan Englander's new collection of stories tell the tangled truth of life, in prose that, as ever, surprises the reader with its gnarled beauty. One need look no further than 'Free Fruit for Young Widows' and 'Sister Hills' to find certifiable masterpieces of contemporary short story art. -- Michael Chabon Pre-publication praise Nathan Englander is one of those rare writers who, like Faulkner, manages to make his seemingly obsessive, insular concerns all the more universal for their specificity.

It overflows with revelations and gems -- Jonathan Safran Foer Pre-publication praise Nathan Englander's elegant, inquisitive, and hilarious fictions are a working definition of what the modern short story can do -- Jonathan Lethem Pre-publication praise Nathan Englander is one of our most consistently brilliant, bold and funny writers-that part isn't really in doubt-but the depth of his feeling is the thing that separates him from just about everyone. You can hear his heart thumping feverishly on every page. And his stories are perhaps the most ideal vessel for his gifts -- Dave Eggers Pre-publication praise This collection is a jolt of electricity through the heart, the head, the whole body nation. Here is a latitude of exquisitely-wrought prose. Courageous and provocative. Edgy and timeless. In Englander's hands, story-telling is a transformative act. Put him alongside Singer, Carver and Munro. Englander is, quite simply, one of the very best we have -- Colum McCann Pre-publication praise Nathan Englander writes the stories I am always hoping for, searching for. These are stories that transport you into other lives, other dreams. This is deft, engrossing, deeply satisfying work. Englander is, to me, the modern master of the form. And this collection is the very best of the best -- Geraldine Brooks Pre-publication praise What We Talk About When We Talk About Ann Frank vividly displays the humor, complexity, and edge that we've come to expect from Nathan Englander's fiction--always animated by a deep, vibrant core of historical resonance -- Jennifer Egan Pre-publication praise glorious... Like all genuinely comic writers, he is profoundly serious - and moral. Nevertheless, his dialogue-rich stories move with a zing. FINANCIAL TIMES 20120630
