It is easy to get caught up in Tim Kenny s rich stories about Afghanistan, Bosnia, Kosovo, the U.S., and elsewhere. Behind every story about his experiences are drive and perseverance—often exhibited during turbulent times in foreign lands—that give substance to the stories. I admire the way he shows the unfamiliar, but ultimately it is the way he makes me experience the familiar in a different way that I find most rewarding. I am pulled in by the stories about foreign countries, yet more fascinating is the expectation of home that he builds, a sense of how it feels to be away from home, by comparing the strangeness of different countries to what he knows—but then does the same in the story about the uneasiness and loss he feels in returning to Detroit after years away. This notion of home that Kenny produces is stunning." ~Adnan Mahmutovic, Co-editor, Two-Thirds North, Stockholm, Sweden
