A ShortLitCrit Collective Favourite Short Story Collection of 2013
“Rosemary Nixon’s collection of linked short stories is one of the funniest, most original books I’ve read this year.” Pickle Me This, December 4, 2013.
“Are You Ready to Be Lucky?—note “be,” not “get”—is a wry take-down of the quick-fix, one-size-fits-all prescriptions administered by Dr. Phil and others who yell on TV… Nixon hilariously yet sympathetically allows her characters their absurd and impulsive decisions, at once foolhardy and hopeful. And of course we sympathize; we have all fallen, or will fall prey to the seduction of a quick life-correction at one point or another.” Alberta Views, December 2013.

Interview with Trevor Corkum, October 1, 2013.
“Nixon’s prose renders clear-enough-to-break-the-heart pictures of life as we want it to be vs. life as it actually is… The characters of Are You Ready to Be Lucky? fumble hopelessly toward what they think they want. They get hurt, and hurt again. But deftly, tenderly, Nixon makes pileups of disappointments shine like broken glass in sand.” – National Post, September 27, 2013.

“Author Rosemary Nixon opens up about writing,” Saskatoon Star-Phoenix, September 10, 2013.
“Are You Ready to Be Lucky? is a novel that looks like a short story collection and tastes like a volume of haiku. With artfully drawn nature as backdrop, Nixon gives us Roslyn, Duncan and Floyd, characters colliding like pinballs, just trying to keep themselves from clattering down the hole. . . . Lonely and misguided, the main characters and their assorted sidekicks keep getting thwacked by life but they roll on anyway, often slipping down the same alleys and getting thwacked again, but always rolling on.” – Salon, Telegraph-Journal, August 24, 2013.
