"Harold Jaffe is a master of the disembodied voice. These fictions, transgressive, political, dryly comic, are grounded in an ancient tradition, that of the speech of the storyteller. Interlocutors talk as if out of dark caves, and the result is a marvel of conversation that takes the reader to places somehow beyond the 'real world,' only to comment, often searingly, upon its absurdities. Each of Jaffe's volumes has been ground- breaking, and Goosestep is no exception. This is a book of great mastery, some of the most inventive fiction of our time." -- Toby Olson
