“AMERICAN WOMAN with its historical acuity and sprawling interior intimacy further confirms that Susan Choi is a writer of scope, ambition and undeniable talent.” (San Francisco Chronicle)
“In the manner of Don DeLillo’s Libra or Joyce Carol Oates in Black Water...[Choi] takes us straight into one of the strangest segments of our ever surreal American dream life.” (Sven Birkerts, New York Times Book Review)
“Extraordinary generosity and grace .... the author, perhaps as successfully and as powerfully as anyone has, makes us understand how it felt, what it was like ...[an] assured, accomplished work.” (San Diego Union-Tribune)
“Masterfully plotted ....AMERICAN WOMAN is that rarest of creations, a political novel that gives equal weight to its characters’ inner and outer lives.” (Laura Miller, Salon)
“With uncompromising grace and mastery, Susan Choi renders the intimate moments which bring to life a tale of prodigious sweep.” (Jhumpa Lahiri*)
“Susan Choi in this second novel proves herself a natural—a writer whose intelligence and historical awareness effortlessly serve a breathtaking narrative ability. I couldn’t put American Woman down, and wanted when I finished it to do nothing but read it again.” (Joan Didion)
“An amazing sense of control ...[and] a compelling exactness...fantasy confronts fantasy in the confusion that gives rise to love, to hatred, to politics. And to gunshots.” (Jay Cantor, Los Angeles Times)
“[AMERICAN WOMAN] takes a hard-eyed look at American idealism, and yet its imaginative abundance its fascination with self invention and its portrayal of the landscape as a living, breathing presence provide a quintessentially American sense of possibility.” (The New Yorker)
“Historical sweep and startling particular shrewdness ... Choi has written a fascinating portrait of dangerous fragility.” (New York Times)
“Few writers since Graham Greene have brought such tender, insightful, poetic, intelligent, darkly comic writing to the political thriller.” (Francisco Goldman)
