Praise
“A twisting, teasing exploration of sexuality, inner motives and desires … Harpman cleverly manipulates an elusive narrative ‘I’ and shifting perspectives in cool, insouciant, yet seductive style, to attack the well-worn existentialist query, ‘Who am I?’” –Publishers Weekly
“Harpman artfully shapes this lighthearted gender confusion into a witty comment on the incompatibility—and interdependency—of the sexes.” –Kirkus Reviews
“Imagination. Jacqueline Harpman certainly doesn’t lack any. . . . With incredible mastery, she juggles with identities, intertwines desires and fears, fantasies and frustrations.” –L’Express
