"A first-rate job, a book that shows great subtlety and skill."--Robert Stone
"Raboteau paints Emma's world with grand, sweeping strokes. . . . Her timing is excellent, her humor is wry, her voice is on point, and her eye works with laser-like precision. Raboteau's sensitivity to life and to people is nothing short of astounding."--Francesca Wodtke, San Francisco Chronicle
"A bolt of energy . . . Fearless and . . . inventive, Raboteau is a writer to watch."--O magazine
"The world that Emily Raboteau has so wonderfully created here is at turns harsh, beautiful, strange, and always real. This work is unflinchingly intelligent."--Percival Everett, author of Erasure
