Advanced Praise:
The online journal Blackbird has published a review of Mark Yakich’s The Making of Collateral Beauty, which concludes:
In short, Collateral Beauty is a virtuoso performance, serious play that demands a suspension of the usual expectations of narrative, allusion, and textual commentary. The tensions here lie in the multiple possibilities that any image or fragment of a tale presents to a truly inventive imagination and in the reader’s willingness to sit back and enjoy the ride.
