Ms. Vogel has a gift for sustaining humor and pathos at the same time, without trivializing either emotion. ... Ms. Vogel has written a lovely, harrowing guide to the crippling persistence of one woman’s memories. — The New York Times

Vogel paints the young girl’s increasing perplexity, the disturbed man’s increasingly obsessed, outrageous behavior, with the delicate stroke of a master calligrapher. — The Village Voice
