Parul Sehgal of the New York Times Book Review called Deborah Eisenberg “a writer of legendary exactitude, and slowness." Her new collection of six stories, “Your Duck Is My Duck,” is the first book of new writing she has released since 2006. “She is always worth the wait," Sehgal continued. “The new book is cannily constructed, and so instantly absorbing that it feels like an abduction. The stories themselves are simple and calmly recounted — a writer is taken up by wealthy patrons and bears witness to their disastrous marriage, a man attends his uncle’s funeral, another takes up a dog-walking gig. But the sentences are wild, full of breakneck swerves; leaps in time, space and point of view; all kinds of syntactic fireworks.” In Monday’s installment of “Leonard Lopate at Large” on WBAI, Deborah Eisenberg discusses “Your Duck Is My Duck” and the rest of her formidable career.
