Trade Review"Genuinely original—and, often, very quietly so." -- Parul Sehgal - The New York Times
"Wry, unconventional." -- The New Yorker
"Putting down one of Anne Serre’s books is like coming up for air." -- Lucie Elven - London Review of Books
"I love Anne Serre, translated by Mark Hutchinson, for the rippling unreality of her prose. Reading her is like watching a mirage flicker in and out of focus." -- Merve Emre
"Readers will be moved by this probing story about the unknowability of others." -- Publishers Weekly
"Exuberantly anti-realist and avowedly fictional...The story of Fanny and the Narrator is a story about our impulse to understand one another and about the way in which unknowability is what makes someone interesting." -- Meghan Racklin - The Brooklyn Rail
