Siri Hustvedt

Pressestimmen

'Compelling...Webster's hot-house atmosphere and collection of oddballs and freaks are brilliantly evoked...She orchestrates suspense masterfully and her writing has a quality of stillness, of effortless deliberation, which is peculiarly suited to the sense of foreboding.' -- Literary Review 'Full of humour, surprise and powerful images...Hustvedt's real triumph, though, is to take the ordinary and make it strange while showing how all strangeness is rooted in the ordinary.' -- Observer 'Told with the gripping pace of a straightforward mystery tale...A natural born storyteller' -- Independent 'A taut and convincing drama, as well as an intriguing metaphysical thriller' -- Sunday Times 'Subtle, complex and engaging' -- Financial Times 'Hustvedt's powerful theme of small-town mentality shows how intimacy and claustrophobia, secrets and skeletons, come out of the same closet...[an] exploration of the narrow line between imagination and reality while still managing to be a rip-roaring adventure story...beautifully written' -- Scotsman 'A startlingly good novel, tautly written and very sexy.' -- Marie Claire
