This is a writer who knows well both the depths and the possibilities of the human heart.

Elizabeth Gilbert
on The Dream Life of Astronauts

Patrick Ryan’s stories are comedies that can just as easily be read as tragedies. They are stories of isolated individuals bundled together into the families that define them. They are stories that moved me beyond words. I loved every single one of them.
