Excerpt from: A Radical on the Run, Determined to Escape the Past
By MICHIKO KAKUTANI,
New York Times
"Ms. Spiotta has constructed a glittering collage of a book — a
book that possesses the staccato ferocity of a Joan Didion essay and the
historical resonance and razzle-dazzle language of a Don DeLillo
novel."

Excerpt from: Life Without Reminders of Mortality
By MICHIKO KAKUTANI,
New York Times
"...marks the debut of a wonderfully gifted writer with an uncanny
feel for the absurdities and sadnesses of contemporary life, and an unerring
ear for how people talk and cope today."
