Trade Review"Jose Skinner's wonderfully imaginative stories, about the experiences of Latinos and their friends, enemies, lovers and families, introduce us to an astonishing range of characters and settings. Most exciting, they reveal a writer with an assured, deeply compassionate voice and a seemingly inexhaustible store of narrative ideas. I sense that this is only the beginning." -Sandra Scofield; "Jose Skinner brilliantly brings to life those people living in the mixed cultures along our southem border. Flight is a bold and brillant debut, uncompromising in its vision, written with honesty and compassion. I loved this book. All herald Jose Skinner, the new voice of the desert." - Chris Offutt; "I wish I'd written some of these stories. Skinner steps onstage with all the aplomb of an established star. These stories are human, at turns harsh and tender, erotic, and always rewarding. It's a wonderful debut from a writer who is going places. Fast." - Luis Alberto Urrea"
