Reviews:
"The co-editors of Main Channel Voices: A Dam Fine Literary Magazine love Larry's work and have published him in almost every issue. His work is always a wonderful surprise, whether he is being whimsical, politically astute, a social commentator or, when the muse moves him, incredibly loving. Arrogant Bones is the best of Larry Schug. Unforgettable."
–Nancy Kay Peterson & Carol Borzyskowski
"Directly and vividly, Larry Schug captures and opens vaious moments from our lives. Through facing these experiences honestly, Arrogant Bones gathers many small mirrors, reflecting how living intertwines with love, death, grief, and a great sense of wondering and discovering."
–Yuko Taniguchi
