“[The Empty Family] reconfirms his mastery of the short story…. ToÍbÍn raised his profile with the exquisitely bittersweet Brooklyn, and this collection is every bit as rich… Likely to rank with the best story collections of the year.”
-- Kirkus (starred review)
“The work of a supreme writer who only improves.”
-- The Times (U.K.)
“This is some of ToÍbÍn’s most beautiful and heart-stopping writing. The story ‘The Street’ is one of the great love stories of our time, gay or straight.”
-- Edmund White, author of City Boy
“A collection that will only further fuel Toibin's ascent through English fiction.”
-- The Independent (UK)
