While the stories work as stand-alone pieces, they also form a beautiful whole. This is a loving portrait of small-town Middle America that resonates well beyond its borders.
Well-placed stories featuring sea goddess Ma-Zou make this a good choice for fantasy fans, as well as readers who enjoy strong, complicated women protagonists.

This book, well-researched and engaging, draws readers into the intricate web of lies about a trust-fund tall tale that spanned throughout the 1970s and ’80s and across the globe. Readers who enjoy true crime and stories about cons will quickly be absorbed into Yeebo’s first book.
All told, this is a quirky journey from White, recipient of the National Book Foundation’s Medal for Distinguished Contribution to American Letters, that will undoubtedly deliver to devotees as well as those new to the prolific author.
