Review
A wonderful, brilliant, savage writer.--Susan Sontag
Nothing rivals its intensity.--The Los Angeles Review of Books
Startling and original--so disturbing and so haunting.--Cathleen Schine
Fleur Jaeggy's pen is an engraver's needle depicting roots, twigs, and branches of the tree of madness--extraordinary.--Joseph Brodsky
This book is twisted and hypnotizing and, somehow, downright lovely. Reading it is not unlike diving naked and headlong into a bramble of black rosebushes, so intrigued you are by their beauty: it's a swift, prickly undertaking, and you emerge the other end bloodied all over.--Daniel Johnson
Finely distilled and evocative stories.
Jaeggy's astute compression of narrative detail is at once serene and startling. Beneath a placid, opalescent surface lurks a threat or violence that may or may not be realized, but which contributes to the profound impression that people and their lives are unpredictable, coursing with icy, barren wildness.
Stark, surprising prose. It's hard to capture in a line or two the strange precision of Jaeggy's prose. Darkness seems never far away.-- (11/03/2017)
Jaeggy seems to have crushed a glass in her palm and tweezed out a few shards for the page. Her prose is indeed extraordinary...it is also frightening.-- (11/08/2017)
Jaeggy's prose gleams like cut gems.--Tess Lewis (12/06/2018)
