“The most daring aspect of Night Sky is its willingness to contemplate the absence of speech as a benefit rather than a disability, the source of a renewed sense of wonder in minutiae, of personal achievement in every complete sentence, and of revelation in every verbal slip...

“What makes The Hatmaker's Wife a success is its dexterity and fluidity.
