"In clear, resonant prose, laced with bittersweet humor, Di Blasi imparts her understanding of love's multiple ironies." -The New York Times Book Review
"Both Di Blasi's style and her objective distance and comprehension of her chosen subject mark her as a very psychologically driven, very talented writer." –Publishers Weekly
“With The Jirí Chronicles one gets the sense that Di Blasi saw the divide between what she wanted to do and what she’d achieved and said something like the hell with it, taking a torch to old ways of writing stories, and the result is by far the most interesting thing she’s done…. It’s a huge step for Di Blasi, and a welcome one.” –Tim Feeney, Review of Contemporary Fiction
"Di Blasi has a mind unlike anyone else writing fiction today, and this [The Jiri Chronicles] is her finest work yet." –Kevin Prufer, editor, Pleiades
"Beware, reader, you're in for a sumptuous, hypertextual, hypercharged ride. Hyperion himself would smile." –David Hamilton, Editor, The Iowa Review
