"Dinuzzo's prose is elegant, intelligent, and razor's-edge shrewd. . . . As Franz Kafka demurs, 'We need the books that affect us like a disaster, that grieve us deeply, like the death of someone we loved more than ourselves, like being banished into forests far from everyone, like a suicide. A book must be the axe for the frozen sea inside us.' Hoaxes and Other Stories suggests Brian Dinuzzo is a lumberjack on ice skates. It was not what I expected, and the promise and possibilities of Dinuzzo's writing may be vast and uncharted."--E.R. Bills, Fort Worth Weekly "This one collection I would recommend reading. The author is new to the game but brings a backpack full of creative offerings."--Jennie Rosenblum, Jennie Reads "Fakery is explored in almost all of these inventive stories. After relationships end and jobs don't work out, protagonists are often left wondering, like the narrator of the titular story, what value they held. Were they even real?"--Chris Fink, author of Add This to the List of Things That You Are
