Quatro's Debut Collection Draws Critical Acclaim
The stories that comprise MFA alumna Jamie Quatro '09's recently released debut collection, I Want to Show You More, according to noted literary critic James Wood in his , "are passionate, sensuous, savagely intense, and remarkable for their brave dualism."
Added the March 21 New York Times , "[The collection] draws from a small pool of particular and unexpectedly resonant themes—Christianity, marital infidelity, cancer, running—and examines and recombines them with impressive agility and inventiveness. It is a strange, thrilling and disarmingly honest piece of work."
Quatro's stories have appeared or are forthcoming in The PEN/O.Henry Prize Stories, Ploughshares, The Kenyon Review, Tin House, Oxford American,²Ñ³¦³§·É±ð±ð²Ô±ð²â’s, The Southern Review, and elsewhere.
