Me and My Baby View the Eclipse

Â A NEW YORK TIMES NOTABLE BOOKÂ

â€œExtremely powerfulâ€¦Me and My Baby View the Eclipse is about striving and the secret nobility of people who live in a small-town American South. In these storiesâ€”thank heavenâ€”not everything fits: they are loose, they are sometimes awkward, but just about every one shines with revelation and awe in the face of momentary greatness and tragedy.â€¦Nearly every one of these stories could move a reader to tears, for in almost every one of them there is a moment of vision, or love, or unclothed wonder that transforms something plain into something transcendent.â€â€”The New York Times Book Review
Â
â€œRemarkableâ€¦Lee Smith is a Southern storyteller in the very best tradition, combining an unmistakable voice with an infallible sense of story.â€¦ Her craft is so strong it becomes transparent, and, like the best storytellers, she knows how to get out of the way so the story can tell itself.â€â€”San Francisco Chronicle
Â
â€œFrom its wonderful title to its final sentence, this book brims with the poetry of the South.â€â€”Los Angeles Times Book Review

â€œMarvelously entertainingâ€¦These are stories you want to read again to catch all the things you missed the first time around."â€”The Boston Globe
