Sleeping Things is luminous, marvelously succinct, and always
engaging. Iglesias renders the spectacle of growing up not with
reflexive, all-too-easy nostalgia but with clear-eyed affection,
meticulous precision and gusto, giving day-to-day incidents and
reclaimed details of that hopeful, rambunctious Cold War era a sense of
delightful enterprise and luster. This new book is a refreshingly
artful, savvy meditation on the past, rife with compassion and humor,
one to celebrate, savor, and enjoy! -- Cyrus Cassells
