Review
"This is the most brilliant first novel I have read in years.... Rikki Ducornet's real talent is for language. She is a minor lord or lady of it, achieving abstruse comic effects by a kind of clowning classicism. "The Stain" is a very odd, accomplished and memorable novel by any standards." --?Robert Nye, "The Guardian"
"A bold, Rabelaisian mixture of bawdy and horror, this first novel... is highly recommended." --?"Library Journal"
"A highly disciplined extravaganza.... The writing is highly impressive." --?"Times Literary Supplement"
