Voyeurs: Stories by Dennis James Bartel

“It was my distinct pleasure to read Dennis James Bartel’s collection. They are stories in the classic manner, scale models of a world that is both peculiarly Bartel’s and a dead ringer for our own, replete with the flawed, pathetic, lost and yearning characters, at once drowning and exulting in life’s ironies, who populate the tales of the modern masters of the form. His style has the sunny, effortless air of true literary art, casting sharp and profound shadows.” Michael Chabon, winner, Pulitzer Prize for Fiction, 2001
