Recensione:
John Sutherland The New Republic In scale, in vision and in imaginative darling, Accordion Crimes uses all the range and the resources of Proulx's mature prose....She is a great novelist.
Michael Dirda The Washington Post Book World You would think Proulx would have the simple decency to make her third novel merely so-so, if only to let someone else grab a little limelight. No such luck...She now seems to know everything about writing. And a fair amount about life, too.
Phoebe-Lou Adams Atlantic Monthly Splendid...Ms. Proulx is a magician.
Gail Caldwell Boston Sunday Globe A daringly intelligent work with a soul as wide as the Mississippi.
Kathleen Byrne Globe and Mail Review of Books Crisp and authoritative, her spare, dense prose is mesmerizing ...A majestic novel.
