Book Reviews: An Incomplete List of My Wishes by Jendi Reiter


Visit the catalog to order.


Jendi Reiter's expert stories scald with their fervor, vaporize with their stone cold candor and ultimately distill the truth. Here are characters who reach out in need, then slap our hands back; who wound, cuss, love and resurrect the way we wish we could. Here is pitch-perfect prose that's both literary and forthright—that condenses unwieldy, unfathomable issues to workable, human proportions. Here is a writer in whom we can invest our time, our trust, our hope.

—Soma Mei Sheng Frazier, author of the story collections Salve (Nomadic Press) and Collateral Damage: A Triptych (Ropewalk Press), founding editor of COG: A Multimedia Publication


Jendi Reiter is a masterful short story writer. Truth and humor are woven intricately, ripe with emotion and stripped down to the bone. You will read these again and again.

—Jacqueline Sheehan, New York Times bestselling author of Lost and Found (William Morrow) and The Tiger in the House (Kensington)
