"This appealing collection reveals a supple writer who draws us in from the start of each new story, with none of the 'collection fatigue' one sometimes feels along the way from even the best practitioners of the genre. Highly recommended."--Library Journal
"Barbash is a true craftsman who sweats over every sentence, and that artistry makes you want to read the next story... These characters...really aren't like the rest of us, except-and this is the crucial part, this is why Barbash is worth reading-they hurt in precisely the same way we do..."--New York Times Book Review
"Fantastic...These Cheever-esque stories all show that Barbash has a sensitive ear towards the subtle ways that relationships are formed and altered, but he's also not afraid to open a story with a car accident and watch the sparks fly."--The Daily Beast
"The new collection of short stories from Barbash...explores the difficult nature of human connection, whether it's a young couple holding a party amidst the struggles of their foundering marriage...or a young man having a rough time in the dating world, whose widowed father is having no problems finding love again."--7x7 Magazine
"Barbash makes a strong impression with his first collection of stories... he deploys a keen, incisive wit; consider 'The Women, ' in which the narrator watches his widowed father connect on the midlife dating scene, even as his own love life fizzles."--San Jose Mercury News
"Is there such a thing as the Great American Story Collection? Yes, and this is it."--Justin Cronin, author of The Passage
"These stories should come with a warning: They might undo you."--The New York Times
"Sometimes it's hard to pinpoint the thread that binds stories in a collection together, but in the case of STAY UP WITH ME it's enough to say that each story is very, very good...Barbash seems drawn to characters...who are reeling from freshly broken families or relationships"--Entertainment Weekly
"Barbash gives us a wise, infatuating collection that navigates the thorny passages of preoccupation more honestly than any recent fiction. With alarm and empathy, and often an irrepressible urge to laugh, we watch his characters dig their own graves and realize 'what it feels like to be lost.'"--San Francisco Chronicle
"STAY UP WITH ME is a cohesive compilation of 13 distinct stories, all of which evoke the intricacies of human nature... Altogether, Barbash's stories present a poignant cast of characters that will resonate with readers."--Brooklyn Daily Edge
