“These are slow-savor stories. . . . Deep and humane, the short stories collected in Cravings focus on rare moments of vibrant, uncensored selfhood.”

“Through the details of everyday life, Cohen opens up a character’s world. The slightest phrase evokes a flood of emotions. . . . There is good variety in the selection of these stories: they’ll make you laugh, cry, or just sigh. . . . I would have liked to point to my favorite story from the collection, but I can’t. I admired them all, each in its own way.”

“[Kilberg Cohen’s] latest collection Cravings exemplifies her every strength. Bookended by stories titled ‘Hors d’oeuvres’ and ‘Feast,’ her writing is filled with a deep hunger for redemption and connection. . . . For lovers of short stories, prepare to eat well with Cravings.”

“Surprisingly, and delightfully, many of the twelve stories that comprise this collection bring an essayistic style to the short-story form. . . . Kilberg Cohen presents the short stories—whether using elements of fiction, nonfiction or both—as an ever—vital form of discovery on the ‘rare moments we live.’”

“The collection adeptly grounds the reader in each story from the very first sentence. . . . Regardless of the region, age, or gender, Garnett Kilberg Cohen delves deeper into the complications of desire.”

“Impressive. . . . Eloquent, original, moving, memorable.”
