"Kennedy's stories are as good as any I've been reading in the past ten years or more. His characters are full, alive, and each story is rich and deep. He writes with wisdom, and it is perhaps that wisdom which turns some of his stories of great sorrow into something triumphant. The title story is worth the book's price. It is funny, gloomy, terrifying and joyful." --Andre Dubus.
"The American short story is a thriving art form, and no one embodies its vitality, range and depth mor energetically than the expatriate writer Thomas E.Kennedy. His stories pulse with humor, moral edge, and a deep sympathy for the human predicament. Kennedy looks back on the New World from the Old, proving yet again that American writing flourishes where there is exile, cunning -- and the refusal to be silent. These stories come as a gift from across the sea of a fine writer's untamed imagination." --James Carroll (winner of the 1996 National Book Award for American Requiem ).
"Intense, humorous, sexually charged, emotionally powerful, the stories in Thomas E.Kennedy's Drive, Dive, Dance & Fight brilliantly mine the hidden recesses of the human heart. Kennedy is a dazzling writer, literary, compelling and profound." --Paul Brenna (winner of the 1988 AWP Novel Award for The Book of Mamie ).
