“Whether they are attempting a great kindness, or suffering the effects of crime, alienation, or betrayal, Eugene Datta’s complex characters, like his images, are quietly developed. These stories seem understated at first, but upon second reading they simmer and burst with color, light, taste, and sound.” Susan Tekulve, author of Bodies of Light
“A quiet, calming sense of characters losing and finding their way. Datta has a marvelous way of pulling the reader into the story.” Miriam Polli, author of Rosina
