Bender, Lily Tuck, Sarah Shun-Lien Bynum, Marisa silver, Lauren Groff, and Brian Morton Praise from Librarians and Booksellers "Improvement is a wide-ranging novel told in stories that connect disparate people through time and place to one tragic accident. Kiki, a free-spirited young adult of the 1970s turned wise woman, is the novel's lodestar. Silber masterfully pulls together the threads of lives in places as remote as rural Turkey and as common and close as New York City like a finely made Persian rug." -Arsen Kashkashian, Boulder Book Store (Boulder, CO)
