What She Saw

Praise for My House Is on Fire:

“Stories Kafka could have created.” —Houston Chronicle

“The voices are assured, heartbreaking, and are bearing witness to an all-encompassing social suffering…it is the generosity and sadness…that stays with the reader, that accepting of what has been done to us, of what we have done to ourselves.” —Washington Post

“These stories have resonance and timeliness, a rare combination that makes them universal; they are political fables in the best sense.” —San Francisco Chronicle

“Dorfman captures the essence of this conflict [in the political culture between decades of oppression and hopes of freedom]…Dorfman’s mastery as a storyteller makes reading these stories most worthwhile.” —Los Angeles Times Book Review

“These eleven passionate, brilliant tales…bear forceful and yet subtle witness to the plight of a people mortally divided against itself…superb.” —Publishers Weekly

“Dorfman continues to explore the devastated landscape of private life under government: he does so with great subtlety…In [his] hands, the imaginary takes on a sharp and sinister edge…Memorable, remarkable.” —Philadelphia Inquirer
