"""Mercurial, hilarious, terrifying, a sustained song to the lost, Lublin is a masterpiece. Prepare to be enchanted."" --Sinéad Morrissey Praise for Manya Wilkinson's Ocean Avenue ""With a wry wit that recalls Woody Allen, Wilkinson confidently and evocatively blends the historical and personal into a disturbing yet funny tale."" --Publishers Weekly"
