The
women in Summer Brenner's world grow wiser by defying
expectations, both the
world's and their own. Her characters are tonic and
poetic, weaving melancholy with
healing. We are in the hands of a first-rate
story teller. Andrei Codrescu, author of New Orleans,
Mon Amour
Praise for Summer
Brenner’s Writing
"The
wisdom of the body is Summer Brenner's terrain. She is the author as
choreographer, a
moving force with a pen." The
Los Angeles Times
“....graphic,
lyrical language to make us feel the
rhythms, the hard work, the disappointments
and the occasional exhilaration of
something that transcends ourselves." The
New York Times
"Each
story focuses on a different dancer and a
different dance, and marvelously, the writer's
voice takes on the style of the
form so well you can almost hear the music in the
background." San Jose Mercury News
"...simple,
sensual language conjures luminescent
pictures of lives framed by uncomplicated desires.
This is not to say that the
characters, or the stories, are not complex. At her best, Brenner is
able to
construct rich, emotional taut characters with only a few
brush
strokes." San Francisco
Chronicle
