Advance Praise for THE EMPEROR OF SHOES: “Spencer Wise’s The Emperor of Shoes is the most complex, nuanced, character-rich first novel I have ever read… Wise comes to us fully-flighted as a master stylist and a compelling storyteller.”—Robert Olen Butler, Pulitzer Prize winning author “Fresh and innovative… I’ve taught for more than forty years; this is the best first novel I’ve ever read.”— David Kirby, National Book Award nominated author of The House on Boulevard Street “Wise has written a funny, illuminating page-turner… heartbreakingly personal, timely and political, written with plenty of Yiddish and humor.” —Bethany Ball, author of What to Do About the Solomons
