Praise for I’m Looking Through You
Jenny Boylan’s I’m Looking Through You ranks right up there with
Mary Karr’s The Liar’s Club and Tobias Wolff’s This Boy’s Life as
one of the finest literary memoirs of the last several decades.
Like these, it’s a haunting revelation of the human heart, its
terrible longings, its fears and joys, the secret recesses where we
most truly dwell. How alike we all are, down this deep.
—Richard Russo, Pulitzer Prize–winning author of Empire Falls
Praise for She’s Not There
”There’s quite a story here. Ms. Boylan tells it with disarming
humor and a sharp eye.…She’s Not There…brings irreverence and a
merrily outrageous sense of humor to this potentially serious
business.…Tender as well as funny.”
—Janet Maslin, The New York Times
“Probably no book I’ve read in recent years has made me so question
my basic assumptions about both the centrality and the permeability
of gender, and made me recognize myself in a situation I’ve never
known and have never faced.…The universality of the astonishingly
uncommon: that’s the trick of She’s Not There. And with laughs,
too. What a good book.”
—Anna Quindlen, from the introduction to the Book-of-the-Month Club
edition
“Beautifully crafted, fearless, painfully honest, inspiring, and
extremely witty. Jennifer Finney Boylan is an exquisite
writer...one of the most remarkable, moving, and unforgettable
memoirs in recent history.”
—Augusten Burroughs, author of Running with Scissors
