PRAISE FOR IN THE LAND OF THE LIVING: "In the Land of the Living made me laugh out loud, and it also left me deeply moved. Part vaudeville and part tragic opera, it dances and rages with uncommon wisdom, conveying the pain, comedy, and beauty of familial love across the generations."--John Burnham Schwartz, author of Reservation Road and Northwest Corner
