"The two novellas that make up The Fires --one of sorrow and one of radiance--are filled with characters trying to maneuver that space between creation and destruction." --Ana Menendez, author, Loving Che and In Cuba I Was a German Shepherd " The Fires offers the twin bequeathing of profound sadness and enchantment. Mr. Cheuse is a writer of immense gifts." --Howard Norman, author, The Bird Artist and Devotion "One of the smartest, most trustworthy reviewers in America. Now he shows us where he gets his authority--a fiction writer of startling talent." --John Gardner, author, Grendel and The Sunlight Dialogues "[Cheuse] reminds us how close art and chaos really are." -- The New York Times Book Review
