<p>This set of essays captures the open-ended, rootless feel of modern life. . . . [These] dazzling, elusive shards [are] crafted with precision.</p>
<p>An astonishing collection of daring and highly evocative texts [which,] dictated by Cooper's love of language, his reverence for memory and the quirky shapes experience takes, and arranged according to the rhythms of reunion, expand the notions of what fiction can be.</p>
<p>Bernard Cooper is extremely gifted. This book is fascinating.</p>
<p>When [an] author has this much intelligence, verbal dexterity, warmth, and honesty, we can safely predict we will be reading him with relish for years to come.</p>
<p>The images Cooper conjures up in <i>Maps to Anywhere</i> become quickly stated poems or paintings whose surfaces are dazzlingly luminous. . . . I enjoyed this book very much.</p>
