Schickler, David

The Washington Post praised “Kissing in Manhattan,” a novel in stories, as “A rare find: fascinating and hilarious, it is truly a haunting read.” The New York Times said “Sweet and Vicious” has “a sharp wit and a sustained edge. … Schickler pierces straight through the everyday world with his deadpan vision.”
