Description
“…truly a marvelous and remarkable book–a sure and splendid read.” –The Montreal Gazette“The stories in A KISS IS STILL A KISS exhibit Callaghan’s readiness to take his place in the front rank of Canadian fiction…his best ever.” –Toronto Star“The sensibility that Callaghan articulates…is borne out by the effortless, almost profligate beauty of (the stories’) surfaces, and by their emotional intelligence and accuracy.” –Globe & Mail“Callaghan has a talent for strikingly lively prose; the stories are often both salty and sensual.” –Books in Canada“A KISS IS STILL A KISS is well-conceived and wonderfully executed.” –The Ottawa Citizen“Callaghan’s writing is saturated with images, unusual and vivid.” –St. John’s Evening Telegram“A writer of sophistication and elegance.” –Kitchener-Waterloo Record
