Praise for previous books:

Her Infinite Variety: Stories of Shakespeare and the Women He Loved (Scribner, June 2001):

"What a brave piece of work, to imagine Shakespeare's women . . . a book to stimulate the imagination and remind us of the richness of the Bard's legacy."
-- Susan Vreeland, author of Girl in Hyacinth Blue

The Falling Nun and Other Stories (Scribner, February 2003):

"Every story in Pamela Rafael Berkman’s new collection is thoroughly engaging because her vivid, angled characters always manage to snag us on their jagged hopes and fears."
-- Richard Russo, author of Empire Falls

"The rituals of young urban women (office games, TV watching, parties, dating) mesh with darker ceremonies (tattooing, witchcraft, self-mutilation) in this collection of 12 fresh and vibrant stories....Berkman (Her Infinite Variety) has an uncanny understanding of a particular contemporary subclass of young women and captures them empathically and vividly."
-- Publishers Weekly, Dec. 23, 2002
