"Everything about Arlington Park is original and fearless." --Francine Prose, Bookforum "Hideously funny . . . A novel with a sense of rightness at its core and a narrative intelligence so swift and piercing it can take your breath away." --The Boston Globe "Her books are smart and deep, telling tales of urban life that are the twenty-first-century version of Austen or Thackeray. . . . Cusk's depictions and evaluations are spot-on, her language smooth and enthralling." --Baltimore Sun "Cusk's glory is her style, cold and hard and devastatingly specific, empathetic but not sympathetic." --Los Angeles Times "Cusk's frank acknowledgment of maternal ambivalence is rare and wonderful." --Entertainment Weekly "Sharp wit and commanding prose." --The New York Times "Devastating . . . Incisively vivid." --Publishers Weekly
