Rezensionen

2008:

"[T]he stories are a sort of antenna for what is going on in the world....Even topical stories are of enduring quality , and the same is true for several other stories that wrestle with contemporary religion and faith." -- Chicago Tribune

"How good there's was at assembling this anthology: a variety of writers, famous to first-timers, sifted from major magazines and little reviews, grand and little worlds." -- St. Louis Post-Dispatch

"Rushdie acknowledges, 'Okay: So I'm not an American' and then goes on to write, 'An old question - what is an American story? - is given a new lease on life in our interconnected, migratory, suspicious, troubled age.' His selections fit the bill."-- USA Today
