    The album was 33 songs a year ago, and it’s 32 now, yet it unfurls cohesively like a film.

    Some of the music is unplugged but scrappy, with shifting meters and the grit in Ms. Hersh’s voice; they’re more scuffle than skiffle.

    It's a soul-stirring collection of Real Ramona/University-grade musical mini-masterpieces accompanied by lyrical prose vignettes exuding the same nimble friskiness and wry, subversive brilliance that characterized Hersh's fantastic 2010 memoir Rat Girl. [No. 104, p.58]
