Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

“Moves seamlessly from the poetic to the humorous to the vernacular…A brilliant book that serves as a cautionary tale for anyone over thirty who feels certain about his or her future.” —ForeWord Reviews
“Beautifully written and deeply rewarding. Piafsky is heading toward becoming a major writer.” —Booklist
“A long, lovely poem of a book, a kind of literary kaleidoscope that reveals beautiful, intricate patterns with each turn of the page.” —Liam Callanan, author of The Cloud Atlas
“Michael Piafsky is quite a good writer: smart, playful, energetic, and a skillful hand with words, besides being very funny when it’s the appropriate time to be funny, and touching when the situation calls for it too. I hope he gets the readership he deserves.” —Stephen Dixon, National Book Award–nominated author of Frog 
“Michael Piafsky finds the remarkable in seemingly unremarkable things. He is a poet of everyday details, and All The Happiness You Deserve is a beautiful, confident novel, full of unique and unexpected energy.” —Scott O’Connor, author of Untouchable
“With a pointillist painter’s skill and vision, Michael Piafsky uses brief scenes to create a full canvas. All the Happiness You Deserve succeeds brilliantly on both a microscopic and telescopic level with the sum of its parts being greater than the whole—and yet somehow each part stands on its own as a perfect jewel, a flash of light.” —Marly Swick, author of The Summer Before the Summer of Love
“A distinctive, insightful portrait of the everyday rhythms of life and the fragile, complicated threads that connect us, All the Happiness You Deserve is a wildly original, mesmerizing debut.” —Amy Hatvany, author of Heart like Mine
“Through beautifully written episodes, Michael Pifsky’s novel All the Happiness You Deserve takes us right into the unavoidable melancholy of life.” —Sahar Delijani, author of Children of the Jacaranda Tree
