"Not since Paul Theroux’s The Consul’s Files and Sherwood Anderson’s Winesburg, Ohio, has a collection of interlocking short stories so successfully revealed the interior lives of members of a small community.... Part memoir, part funeral book, these sixteen original short stories are written with flair and considerable imagination. Chairs is a richly layered eagle’s eye view of the a community of expat journalists as they struggle to understand what it means to be displaced in Thailand.... Moore is much more than just a wordsmith, he is a literary craftsman."

"Moore manages to treat the stories with enough panche that we don't feel that we are outside looking in - you're already in."
