Enríquez unflinchingly regards the pain of others ... Feels as vivid and essential as Kafka’s tales. Considered by many to be a Nobel contender, Enríquez is surely on a path to Stockholm.

Once in a blue moon a debut novel comes along, announcing a voice quite unlike any other, with a layered story and sentences that crackle and pop, begging to be read aloud. Aria Aber’s splendid Good Girl introduces just such a voice.

May be [Lepore's] best yet, a capacious work that lands at the right moment, like a life buoy, as our ship of state takes on water. She’s not here to rearrange deck chairs on the Titanic; she’s here to convey — in vigorous, crystal-clear sentences — what we’re losing, and why.

Nobody writes like her, those lissome lines and abundance of commas. She’s one of the few who can pull off tell-don’t-show ... An alluring addition to an oeuvre whose works are larger on the inside than the outside, rendered in glittering sentences.
