From reviews of TIME SHARING


"...authentic, raw, often funny...a folie a deux only a skilled writer could handle convincingly. Krawiec is well up to the challenge. He brings to life two characters whose inchoate longings are as credible as Romeo and Juliet's."

PUBLISHER'S WEEKLY RECOMMENDED LIST


"Possesses an engaging, off-beat humor...and considerable poignancy. First rate satire. Genuinely touching."

RICHARD EDER, L.A. TIMES


"An earnest, kindly book about hard lives, bad luck, and persistent dreams. Sincere and honorable."

JONATHON YARDLEY, WASHINGTON POST


"...chronicles in unflinching often painful detail the wounded efforts of two fringe people to construct their version of a nuclear family...at its core this novel expresses an honest, elaborately detailed sense of horror."

THE NEW YORK SUNDAY TIMES BOOK REVIEW



"This book is a trip, fascinating. Krawiec writes with an energy that smolders on the page, and yet he makes it look so easy."

ELMORE LEONARD


"Makes people who come to our attention mostly as statistics spring to life as heartbreakingly real. We see them through Krawiec's compassionate yet unflinching gaze. How wonderful to find a writer with so much talent and a real social conscience as well."

LEE SMITH


"One of the brightest talents in fiction."

FRED CHAPPELL


From Reviews of FAITH IN WHAT?

"Krawiec credibly limns the hearts and trials of characters worth caring about."

PUBLISHER'S WEEKLY


"A gritty, powerful novel. The modest, hard-won victories that provide the climax of this angry, exact, robust novel feel both believable and just."

KIRKUS REVIEWS


From Reviews of AND FOOLS OF GOD

"Krawiec is a strong writer. There's no denying his gift for storytelling, the stark truthfulness of detail, the sense of finding oneself in the grip of life the way it really is rather than the way fictionmongers have told us it is."

KIRKUS REVIEWS


"Krawiec skillfully depicts how people become part of a vicious cycle as both victims and victimizers. Moments of hope occur when these characters reach out...to practice simple compassion. Recommended for public and academic libraries."
