Praise
“Gayl Jones is some furious, lacerating writer. You don’t read her easily, and you can’t forget her at all.”
—Kirkus Reviews
“One of the most versatile and transformative writers of the 20th century.”
—Imani Perry, in The New York Times magazine, and author of South to America
“Gayl Jones conjures with deep intimacy and immediacy a brutal world that is centuries past but fully alive with spirit and mystery. Page after breathtaking page, her prose is intricate, mesmerizing, and endlessly inventive and subversive.”
—Deesha Philyaw, author of The Secret Lives of Church Ladies
“Telling stories out loud was a matter of survival—and the way Jones wields this tradition transforms even a nursery rhyme into something dirty, dangerous, and important.”
—Calvin Baker, The Atlantic, and author of A More Perfect Reunion
