PEN/Hemingway Foundation Special Citation
Los Angeles Times Notable Book

“Ten stories cut like gems from American family life.”
       —Los Angeles Times

“Wonderfully humane . . . What’s impressive about these stories is that they gather their considerable power not from stylistic flash or conceptual cleverness but from the fact that they tell us only what we need to know.”
       —Playboy

“Michael Knight’s stories are tempered with both pathos and humor, and seasoned with many an unexpected twist. Dogfight and Other Stories has a bite more than equal to its bark.”
       —Madison Smartt Bell, author of Devil’s Dream

“Not for years has a writer excited me so much as Michael Knight. He’s dazzling. Dogfight is a wonderful book, there is not a misstep and I turned the pages in appreciation and awe and envy.”
       —Lewis Nordan, author of Music of the Swamp

“One of the best things possible happens with Michael Knight’s stories: the words are put together so that you forget you’re reading, you find that the stories are happening; you see, you listen, you hold your breath waiting for what will happen next. What a pleasure to find a writer who can make this happen. Such writers are few and far between.”
       —Clyde Edgerton, author of The Bible Salesman
