"...an easy affection for his characters and a sense of natural, unforced humor." Booklist "Sheppard's characters pretend to not be funny, to not be emotional, to not need each other, when of course, they are, and they do. There's a clarity to the chaos, the restraint, the vulnerability Sheppard creates, something so human and essential you can't help but turn the page." -Entropy Magazine
