Review:
"Butler has one-upped himself....he has brought the dead back to life through the limitless will of his imagination." --The New York Times "Glorious, pure poetry....a deeply empathic experience for both writer and reader." --Los Angeles Times "A stream-of-consciousness masterpiece." --The Birmingham News "Robert Olen Butler...is a master of the performance piece. ...these stories capture and captivate the reader." --The (New Orleans) Times-Picayune "In concept, Severance is brilliant. In execution, it's even better--beautiful, hilarious, horrifying, and humane." --Dave Eggers "With Butler's signature mastery of language, Severance delivers a ghost chorus speaking with poetic urgency, and each of these finales leaves us shivering and breathless." --Amy Tan "Severance is a dazzling tour of history and humanity." --Ann Patchett
