A quiet fire runs through Philip Russell's Body & Blood. Each story is a flame casting light on the theater of love and loneliness. --Robert Solomon

Philip Russell's work is finely tuned to the aberrations of love-the fear and danger and tenderness of it all. Reading these stories is like entering a house with many doors, many windows, all leading to the heart of very human things. --Dalia Pagani

Philip Russell has created a memorable cast of characters, setting them onto a collision course both with each other and with their individual destinies. The collection offers high drama along with a spectrum of more delicate pleasures. Body & Blood is a compelling, gorgeously honed book. --Ellen Lesser
