Raves and Reviews
"Julie Hecht sees the horribleness and beauty of our everyday lives better than anyone else, and her humor is deadpan, wild, and sibylline. The Unprofessionals kept me reading avidly right to its last word." -- Ian Frazier
"An authentic, witty, and uncustomary voice -- a sharp-eyed and funny revelation of privilege and pain." -- Alice Munro
"Reminiscent of the gossamer mind-spinning, and lethal detonation, of 'A Perfect Day for Bananafish.'...Many beautifully contoured reflections...a narrator endowed with every conceivable sensitivity and a passionate spirit." -- The New York Times Book Review
