From the rear cover
"These poignant stories spread out like blood from a gash....This book is like a big brother reminding you of what is important in life. It will make you want to pick up the phone and call out: Brother, where art thou?"
--The Boston Globe
"Brothers reminds us that the similarities brothers find so infuriating in their youth ultimately yield to a kind of comfort and consolation they won't find anywhere else. They've been through the trenches together and shed the same blood. Who else but a brother can understand that?"
--The Los Angeles Times
"An endlessly fascinating book. [Brothers] will quite likely appeal to readers in their parental roles, to women with brothers, and just about everybody else in one manner or another."
--The Denver Post
"Watch the boys in this rich anthology battle and booze, worship, envy, argue, and die, and try not to think of your own brother."
--Playboy
"This intimate collection offers rare insight into brothers' sometimes chummy, often complex relationships with one another. A compelling read that sheds new light on a relationship that is as old as the Bible, yet often overlooked."
--The Daily Beast
"Frank McCourt's rollicking essay detailing each of his brothers' strengths and weaknesses is a fitting introduction to literary agent Blauner's assortment of sibling ruminations. An accomplished paean to brotherly love."
--Kirkus Reviews
