"The book is visceral and astonishing-there are not many writers like Zambreno out there." -- Bookriot

"Reading Kate Zambreno's first novel... is like getting a dose of electroshock therapy-a galvanizing current of electricity straight into the brain... O Fallen Angelis blackly funny and brutal, a radical and clear-sighted antidote for banality and complacency. " -- Staff Picks, Paris Review

"... the timing of O Fallen Angel's re-release fuckedly transitions it from Sad Girl Cult Classic to Great American Novel in écriture féminine." -- Sam Cohen, Weird Sister

"Delirious, uncanny, the tragedy is ecstatic, each sentence pushes you to the next, each chapter to the following. This is the page-turner of experimental work." -- The Paris Review

"But for all its dank humor and brutal dissection of the nuclear family, O Fallen Angel is also a philosophical novel, deeply concerned with the problem of freedom." -- Electric Literature

"In Zambreno's vision, Trumpism is a disease that's intertwined with a quintessential American illness, both mental and physical, and a denial of corporeal reality-sex and death in particular-at its root. (I recommend it thoroughly)." -- Flavorwire

"Zambreno isn't writing to change your life, and she isn't writing to revolutionize the plight of women. She is writing to change the way you experience a story. She is writing to hit you in the gut in the very best way." -- Chicago Review of Books

"Embracing the didactic language of parable while turning it on its head, Zambreno's punchy, matter-of-fact, repetitive sentences belie repressed emotional truths... The effect is a poetic visit to Middle America, one that's more likely to expose hypocrisies than generate empathy." -- Huffington Post, Book of the Week
