"The stories range from the whimsical to the more whimsical, the whimsey pushed and pulled to the farthest caves of consciousness, the outermost skies of imagination... burst through barriers others of us have accepted as inevitable, and they don't look back. They are touching, they are provocative, they are just plain fun." --Joy Passanante (in Writer's Northwest Newsletter ).
"It's difficult to choose a favorite among so many gems." --Janice Eidus.
"Scherzi, I Believe serves as an appetizer to Olsen's work, a collection where lyricism is sandwiched with critical theory and the canapés are samplings from video culture that resemble Laurie Anderson riffs." --Richard Calder (in SF Eye , Issue #14, Spring 1996)
