Nightwork : Stories

Rating:
Summary: Fresh, introspective fiction
Review: Although distrubing or startling at moments, it is the freshness and curt wording that illuminates the underlying themes running throughout of childhood innocence and naivety clashing with the malevolance of reality.

Rating:
Summary: Delicious Fun!
Review: Harmless Oedipal fun . . . plays well in Fairfield County

Rating:
Summary: This is a review that touches on the fine prose style.
Review: Most short stories today display no artistry, no understanding of the possible musicality of language. Schutt's stories are remarkable, not only for their subject matter, but for their language. Schutt is a poet of the first order, and her recently published story, "Sickish," in the KGB Bar Reader anthology, confirms her talent. She is a writer to be watched; she is the real thing.
