Brothers: 26 Stories of Love and Rivalry

"These poignant stories spread out like blood from a gash....This book is like a big brother reminding you of what is important in life. It will make you want to pick up the phone and call out: Brother, where art thou?"
—The Boston Globe

"Brothers reminds us that the similarities brothers find so infuriating in their youth ultimately yield to a kind of comfort and consolation they won't find anywhere else. They've been through the trenches together and shed the same blood. Who else but a brother can understand that?"
—The Los Angeles Times

"An endlessly fascinating book. [Brothers] will quite likely appeal to readers in their parental roles, to women with brothers, and just about everybody else in one manner or another."
—The Denver Post

"Watch the boys in this rich anthology battle and booze, worship, envy, argue, and die, and try not to think of your own brother."
—Playboy

"This intimate collection offers rare insight into brothers' sometimes chummy, often complex relationships with one another. A compelling read that sheds new light on a relationship that is as old as the Bible, yet often overlooked."
—The Daily Beast

"Frank McCourt's rollicking essay detailing each of his brothers' strengths and weaknesses is a fitting introduction to literary agent Blauner's assortment of sibling ruminations. An accomplished paean to brotherly love."
—Kirkus Reviews
