“Compassion is the hallmark of Brennert’s imagination, and there’s always a second chance for his scientists, artists and lovers...highly effective...arresting situations...every one is aglow with forgiveness.” --Kirkus Reviews
“What a writer Alan Brennert is! His stories served to remind me of why I write, why any writer writes: we’re all seeking that magical connection between mind and emotion. Brennert makes it in these stories...All are beautiful crafted, and each represents a true leap of the imagination. Blow horns! Flourish trumpets!” --Morgan Llywelyn
“Poignant...imaginative...stunning.” --Publishers Weekly
“Brennert’s stories invariably focus on character and examine the vagaries of the human heart... All are well-crafted, skirting sentimentality and delivering a powerful emotional impact.” --San Jose Mercury News
“Although thoroughly modern in content, Alan Brennert’s fiction has an old-fashioned quality to it, old-fashioned in the best sense of the word. The author of Time and Chance demonstrates in his new collection of short stories, Her Pilgrim Soul, that he knows how to write about love, loss and sacrifice.” --San Francisco Chronicle
