Reviews:
"Rob Christopher's 100 Spinning Plates is a fascinating exercise in specificity and the economy of language - no word unnecessary, no explanation given where none needed. We experience the author's life through random ordered little snapshots, slices of life which stand individually but add up to much more than their sum. A book of memories, chance observations, sexual encounters, and odd little ironic events, all told with amazing objectivity which allows us to enter into the text like a piece of autobiographical detective fiction, putting together a very private life."
- Greg Allen, Artistic Director, The Neo-Futurists and creator of Too Much Light Makes The Baby Go Blind
"100 Spinning Plates by Rob Christopher is addictive. Eat one slice of (what appears to be) his life, and you'll want another. Unpretentious, charming and wholly believable, Rob's stories are a thoughtful reflection on the small oddities and quirks of everyday life. Threaded through these stories is a sense of the randomness of existence - emphasized by the design of the collection, which allows you to flip through the stories like a deck of cards and read them in any order. Your experience of reading Rob's stories will be unique, just as your experience of life is unique - and you never know what's going to happen next."
- David Katzman, author of Death By Zamboni
