Review:

Both stripped-bare fragile and 'fuck you' tough. (Dazed & Confused)

Gaitskill is enormously gifted...[Veronica] is a masterly examination of the relationship between surface and self, culture and fashion, time and memory. (The New York Times Book Review)

This characteristically oblique glance at the US fashion modeling industry of the 1980s is written with all the psychological kick that distinguished Gaitskill's last collection of stories. (DJ Taylor TLS Books of the Year)

Gaitskill writes so radiantly about violent self-loathing that the very incongruousness of her language has shocking power. (The New York Times)

Gaitskill deserves some sort of monument [for this] beautiful, devastating new novel...There are paragraphs like poems in Veronica that lure you back, over and over. (Elle)

A sensitive, astute and uncompromising exploration of the beauty and ugliness of human relationships (Observer 2008-07-06)

Gaitskill is a formidably gifted, astute writer... (The Sunday Business Post 2008-06-29)

A sensitive, astute and uncompromising exploration of the beauty and ugliness of human relationships (Observer)
