“A Milwaukee Inheritance is, as advertised, a loving, knowing paean to the Cream City, itself, but also to our great American middle—about which not enough can be written—and as such has its own honest inheritances in Howells, Anderson, Bellow, Gass, Oates, Dybek—all heroes and—among whom David Milofsky’s measured, poignant, plain-spoke midwestern sentences and intelligence stand out vividly. It’s a novel that welcomes us.”—Richard Ford
“Early in a work, when readers know they’re in good hands, they smile and sit back to enjoy the ride. David Milofsky brings that skill to the subtle and wise story of a marriage’s loving mistakes and understandings.”—Joanne Greenberg
“Milofsky packs his classic you‐can’t‐go‐home‐again tale with entertaining twists and layers of conflict. Add to that a young man’s turmoil about morality, friendship, marriage, children, and his role in the world and you have a book that needs to be read.”—Patricia Skalka
