A Review of Taylor Grieshober's 'Off Days,' Cedric Rudolph, The Pittsburgh Book Review
"Taylor Grieshober astutely captures the ambivalence of a generation hung out to dry by Baby Boomers without the self-involved apathy. Her characters depict life in the Rust Belt as I know it, absurd and often bleak, but still hopeful. Off Days is honest, funny and heartbreaking. Grieshober is my favorite Pittsburgh writer, and certainly one to watch." --Ben Gwin, Author of Clean Time: The True Story of Ronald Reagan Middleton
"Taylor Grieshober is a magician: a young writer who makes all our “off-days” gleam with dark comedic brilliance. The young women in these stories meet our contemporary moment with a stoicism at once wise, off-kilter, and heartbreaking. You’ll meet children much older than their unraveling parents, and young women navigating the absurdities of modern life and love. Prepare for the quiet sucker-punch, for the sentence that leaves you breathless. Catch your breath while you can. Grieshober, that generous comedian of the grieving heart, is about to zing you again." --Marjorie Sandor, author of The Secret Music at Tordesillas
