"Peter S. Beagle has both opulence of imagination and mastery of style."
New York Times Book Review

“Hugo and Nebula Award winner Beagle showcases his narrative breadth in this eclectic new collection with nine powerful fantasy tales and a short set of poems based on the famous Unicorn Tapestries. In the title story, one benevolent sibling must somehow stop another from becoming the Angel of Death. ‘The Last and Only, or, Mr. Moscowitz Becomes French’ explores the significance of identity as a mild-mannered American librarian irrevocably transforms into the last true Frenchman, while the profoundly moving ‘King Pelles the Sure’ denounces the insanity of war. The most memorable selection is ‘The Stickball Witch,’ in which a group of Bronx boys playing stickball come face to face with the suspected witch of their neighborhood. Impressively diverse themes, styles, and subject matter make this collection addictive.”

“Beagle’s true strength in the last few years lies with his short fiction, an area in which he’s been both prolific and brilliant. His latest collection, from Tachyon Publications, showcases the best of his recent output.”

“Beagle is a treasure, that’s all there is to it.... Peter Beagle’s new collection, We Never Talk About My Brother, is a great way to introduce yourself to the fabulous work this wonderful writer has been doing these recent years.”
—SF Site

“Beagle plays the classic themes of love and death, sacrifice, and self-discovery like a master. Never clichéd, he pulls out new riffs and vamps on the expected conventions of modern fantasy, even the ones he helped create in the first place.... Pure poetry. Beagle is an American bard.”
