'Ranbir Sidhu's work takes risks, is often daring and imaginative, and I appreciate the intelligence he brings to his craft.'— Edward Albee, author of Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?

‘With adeptly drawn characters, Sidhu demonstrates a dexterous grasp of the human psyche, while the prevalence of dark twists displays his love of the fatalistic. This propensity for the morose will be off-putting for some but is sure to please those with a taste for black humor and shades of the diabolical.’ — Booklist

‘Whenever I pick up a story by Ranbir Sidhu, I feel as though I’ve been released from the cedarwood closet of literature into the fresh air of active creation; as though I’d been fitted with brand-new high-tech earphones picking up an infinity of eloquent microphones cleverly scattered around the world. The pops and squeaks of new life crackle in my ears, and even when they’re threatening or saddening, I’m inevitably overcome by the hope that they’ll never stop.’ — Harry Mathews, author of My Life in CIA and The Journalist
