Recensione:

Praise for Mother and Child

"This plotless but not directionless novel beautifully contemplates the treachery of the world that motherhood exposes, and the child's ignorance of it." Publisher Weekly

Praise for The Art Lover

The tough-mindedness, originality and wit of her perceptions are intoxicating.” Publishers Weekly

By giving the conflicts in her life a fictional context, she tries to bring order and beauty and some degree of understanding to chaos.” Library Journal

Fully coherent, moving and elegiac, a genuine consolation. The New York Times Book Review

Heartbreakingly perfect...A dazzling second book and an almost impossible act to follow. San Francisco Chronicle

Praise for Room Lit by Roses:

In lush, elliptical language, Maso charts her first experience with pregnancy and new motherhood in a journal that reads like prose poetry, couching the mysterious experience in surprising forms, syntaxes and imagery her dreamlike treatment of pregnancy, birth, mothering and writing should enchant mothers, mothers-to-be and writers with a poetic bent.” Publisher’s Weekly

L'autore:
