Worsted
". . . Lutz displays an innate understanding of the grim compromises of modern life but heightens and glorifies these with [her] dizzying language. [She] refuses to let the dreary world force [her] to write a dreary sentence."- The Paris Review"Worsted feels illicit, begging to be discussed in hushed tones even amongst hip company. The book's quiet ravishments of lives brushing up together isn't incriminating; it's the style that'll get you blitzed. Lutz reminds us that sentences themselves can be pleasurable."-The Rumpus"Lutz is the new sad man of contemporary fiction. [Her] first collection turns the official notion of gender inside out, supplying a new kind of creature-call it a Lutz-which is neither man nor woman."-Interview magazine"Garielle Lutz's sentences are among the most original in modern English, their linguistic specificity making them virtually untranslatable."-Hyperallergic"[Garielle] Lutz is a sentence writer from another planet, deploying language with unmatched invention. [She] is not just an original literary artist, but maybe the only one to so strenuously reject the training wheels limiting American narrative practice. What results are stories nearly too good to read: crushingly sad, odd, and awe-inspiring."-Ben Marcus"Get ready for awe, for envy, for love. [Garielle] Lutz is as funny and original a writer as we have in the language. Consider this, as Lutz would say, a 'household fact.'"-Sam Lipsyte"It should be enough to say that every sentence briefly brings something true to new expression: some black shape moving underwater."-David Winters/3: AM Magazine"The Lutz narrator sticks its slippery-gendered fingers into the sorest spots on its psyche. Stories in the Worst Way is lugubrious mischief, archaeology into inconsolable though jauntily endurable melancholy."-The Village Voice
