Reception
Reception to Praying Drunk has commonly noted how although the book is a collection of stories, the reader is strongly encouraged to read the stories consecutively.[1][2] According to Kirkus Reviews, the stories together "present a powerful reflective narrative, offering perspectives on friends, family and faith."[3]
Praying Drunk was reviewed by The New York Times Book Review on April 25, 2014 by Nicholas Mancusi. Mancusi writes: "Minor’s book is less a collection than an extended prayer, wrenched from the heart and wrought in the language of pain." He also notes that "beyond a certain threshold of grief and misery, the artistic returns diminish."[1] Both Kirkus Reviews and The Boston Globe name "In a Distant Country" as the most affecting story in the collection.[3][4]
In January 2015, it was awarded The Story Prize Spotlight Award, which honors a short story collection worthy of additional attention.[5]
