The innocence and clarity of Teri Vlassopoulos's narrative voice
reveals new and unexpected layers. The characters in these stories look
for signs and omens as they attempt to understand events in their lives
by framing them in abstract superstitions. The stories in Bats and Swallows are sharp, accurate, told with balance and skill.
Vlassopoulos has found a way to carry over the wide-eyed curiosity
and innate goodness of childhood into the mysterious, often sad, often
tragic world of adulthood.--Montreal Review of Books
