Childhood, as I remember it, is a tangle of shifting allegiances. It is a series of passionate friendships,
each as heavy as the last with the promise of immortality.

Praise for Liza Kleinman from the editors of The Summerset Review:
| ...we do
want to say these elements are all present in a wonderful work we read
in the Summer 2005 issue of Hayden's Ferry Review, a
story by Liza Kleinman entitled "Trompe L'Oeil." It's the tale of a
father whose son is soon to be taken away by his mother. The story is
carried by a surreal "game" of sorts the father and son play,
transforming the boy's bedroom into a café, the boy a waiter Mario, the
father a diner. The sprinkled sentences that pull the reader in come by
way of cleverly-acted dialogue... |
