‘A natural storyteller.’—James Wood, New Yorker
‘Garner’s stories share characteristics of the postcard: they flash before us carefully recorded images that remind us of harsher realities not pictured. And like postcards they are economically written, a bit of conversation is transcribed, a memory recalled, an event noted, scenes pass as if viewed from a train—momentarily, distinct and tantalizing in their beauty.’—New York Times
‘A perfect introduction for first-timers who have not yet experienced the pleasures of Garner’s writing.’ —Sydney Morning Herald
'In some ways, the diaries are the apotheosis of her entire career, and the most exciting thing she has ever published.'—Literary Hub on Yellow Notebook
