Industry reviews
"'Working Men's' 14 stories have a variety of voices, settings, and tones. Literary possibilities abound with characters reminiscent of those in Richard Ford's 'Rock Springs'. Like most of us, Dorris's characters sometimes manage to rise above ordinary situations for a moment of luminosity."
Bloomsbury Review - Stephen Lyons
"These fourteen stories demonstrate [Dorris's] skilled and subtle storytelling, roving imagination and embracing humanism...The flaws are easily eclipsed by the overall strength of this sensitive and beautifully observed book."
New York Times Book Review - Tony Eprile (10/17/1993)
"Dorris has a terrific ear for everyday life and its understatement of the profound longings that surge beneath it...His prose is precise and frequently beautiful."
Miles
"His vision is extraordinary...contains stories as good as we are likely to find by anyone writing today."
Eprile
