“These are small, hard gems, full of the same rich emotion and startling observation that readers of Oates’s fiction have come to expect...It is as if these pieces, by being smaller, are even sharper—as a small television’s picture can seem unnaturally crisp.” — New York Times Book Review
“The beauty and tragedy of each of these short stories is that they are all lost chapters of novels begging to be written.” — New York Post
“When it comes to the short story, there is probably nobody better. These stories are lovely; beautifully written.... This anthology is Joyce Carol Oates at the top of her game.” — Buffalo News
“Vintage Oates.” — Kirkus Reviews
“I Am No One You Know is filled with stories that perfectly represent America’s warped and undying fascination/repulsion with acts of violence and sex. In a single volume of stories of less than 300 pages, Oates says more about the human condition than most authors can communicate in a lifetime.” — Denver Post
