“From page one Bryson’s prose had me scribbling words of praise: ‘clean,’ ‘spare,’ ‘pure,’ ‘enters the mind like thought.'” – The Globe and Mail
“Thirteen Shades of Black and White showcases Bryson’s disparate reach and contemporary voice.” – Quill & Quire
“Michael Bryson offers lovers of Canadian fiction [a] superlative collection of short stories…. This book is a must-read for any fan of the Canadian small-press scene.” – Chapters.ca
“This inaugural collection of bitterly hopeful short stories succeeds in illuminating our collective malaise without acceding to it.” – Broken Pencil
“Existence in these stories is inexplicable and aimless; the characters purposeless and alienated – physically and mentally – from those they love. Yet, at the same time, there is a sense of quiet optimism and possibility.” – Word
