The fine folks over at The Rumpus recently reviewed This Jealous Earth by Scott Dominic Carpenter, and had plenty of praise for the collection of shorts:

“Carpenter, though he usually writes in the third person, is very skilled at writing accurately in the voice of many, very different characters. He shifts easily from a shoplifting upper-class stay-at-home mother to an awkward middle-aged tourist from Ohio lost in a European museum to a little girl distressed about the imminent loss of her older brother. He works to match language and syntax to each character’s unique situation.”
