“Kate Blackwell is a wonderful and very perceptive writer who knows more about love, and more about loss, than most of us ever will. These stories about all sorts of Southern men and women are both funny and sad, and always subtly but deeply sympathetic.” - Alison Lurie, author of Foreign Affairs
"In these remarkably intelligent and quirky stories Kate Blackwell sweeps the reader into a tableau as vivid as a Dutch painting, both startling and alive. These are harshly honest and generous stories embroidered with humor." - The Sheltering Sky
"These stories reveal an exceptional, well-crafted talent that invites us into places and the lives of characters the reader would not otherwise have access. These are edgy lives filled with conflict and tension, stories that span decades. This book is a real treat for anyone who loves good writing." -Bookviews
“. . . the kind of truth that fiction gets at best.” -Raleigh (NC) News & Observer
"Author Kate Blackwell has a gift for shining a spotlight on the complexities of mundane people and places. In her debut work of fiction - a collection of short stories called you won't remember this - she introduces her readers to the seemingly ordinary and gives "forgettable" characters emotional depth and mystery.’ - Interview with Frank Stasio, The State of Things, WUNC
