"Father's Mechanical Universe combines the sharp, concentrated focus of a novel with the tender, lyrical quality of the best memoirs to create one of the most moving accounts of family love I've read in years, testifying to the remarkably high standard of Heller's work."
                                                          
–W. D. Wetherell

"Heller's characters have the genius of their own necessity--learning to live with a plague of bees, financial ruin, and crazy neighbors, they preserve their own tiny corner of the world. This is an authentic American voice that teaches us about the human heart haunted by misdeeds, mysteries, and longing."
                                                         
  –Jonis Agee
