"Long, Last, Happy: New and Selected Stories is a triumph: nearly faultless, every page a raging pleasure. ... The absence of [a credited editor and introduction] is conspicuous, and sometimes frustrating, but the decision to omit them was nonetheless the right one. It is better, for now, to present his work uncluttered by preface, chronology, etc." JUSTIN TAYLOR"Displayed here is the essential arc of Hannah's achievement in the realm of the short story, the realm in which his genius, finally, had most of its fun. ... My own personal darling among Hannah's works is the 1993 collection Bats Out of Hell--the first stories he published after giving up drinking--and it is well represented here." JAMES PARKER
