“The book is a form of meditation, written with headlong urgency, about seeing. A reader’s heart must go out to a young writer with a sense of wonder so fearless and unbridled...There is an ambition about her book that I like...It is the ambition to feel.” (Eudora Welty, New York Times Book Review)

“One of the most distinctive voices in American letters today.” (Boston Globe)

“A remarkable psalm of terror and celebration.” (Time magazine)
