Some praise for The Best of Cafe Stories:

“What James Beard was to cooking, Jerry Guarino is to modern fiction.”

Paul Soderberg (author of The Elephant Queen)

“The stories in this collection are tightly told tales with engaging storylines and interesting characters. There are plenty of twists and turns and plenty of characters to delight in (and some to despise).

Nathanial Tower (Pushcart Prize nominated author and editor of Bartleby Scopes literary magazine)

“Guarino’s style is simple and consistently powerful, his storytelling a triumph of art over artifice.”

Ben Price (editor at Zouch Magazine and Miscellany)
