Review
"Ugrasic's retelling may be blisteringly postmodern in its execution but at its heart is a human warmth and even a silliness that infuses it with the sweet magic of storytelling." (Melissa Katsoulis The Times)
"Packed with intellectual surprises and emotional revelations" (Tina Jackson The Metro)
"The message that old crones are the product of "long-lived, labyrinthine, fertile, profoundly misogynistic but also cathartic work of the imagination" is expressed with humour, eloquence and anger." (Alyssa McDonald New Statesman)
"Ugresic has a unique tone of voice, a madcap wit and a lovely sense of the absurd. Ingenious." (Marina Warner)
"She is a writer to follow. A writer to be cherished." (Susan Sontag)
"Ugresic is sharp, funny and unfazed in the face of the little dictators who have torn apart her former country. Orwell would be proud." (Timothy Garton-Ash on THE MINISTRY OF PAIN)
"Contains some of the most profound reflections on culture, memory and madness you wiill ever read." (Carole Angier on THE MINISTRY OF PAIN Independent)
