Cline is an astonishingly gifted stylist, but it is her
piercing understanding of modern humiliation that makes these
stories vibrate with life...brilliant -- Brandon Taylor *
New York Times *
Fans of Cline will delight in the author's razor-sharp observations
and penchant for storytelling * Evening Standard *
Cline is particularly good at locking in the witty detail that
speaks volumes... These expertly constructed stories
withhold key information... the pleasures here lie in an
appreciation of Cline's skilful and absorbing craft * Sunday Times
*
These stories live in the odd corners of the world, Cline's
talent at uncovering the seedy and somehow bringing it to beautiful
light is brilliant. These are understated gems -- Daisy
Johnson
When I read Emma Cline I think of Mary Gaitskill's psychological
acuity and of Joy Williams's sardonic gravitas. And yet something
about Cline's intimate tone, her talent for conjuring the feeling
of being alive, is entirely and uniquely her own -- Rachel Kushner
