Dorene O`Brien`s stories operate on a different plane and dimension of realism--flesh and blood, yet dipped in a neon wash perhaps. At once a scientist of sensory details and a heartfelt observer of the intricacies of the human psyche, O`Brien`s prose possesses a particular cinema that will not just stay in your mind but your gut as well. –Porochista Khakpour, author of Sons and Other Flammable Objects, The Last Illusion and Sick
