Review Quotes

"I have not the least doubt that her work is parallel to Paul Auster's . . . or any other writer thus whose books are not simply products for the market-albeit the work can reach a very large number of potential readers indeed. In Fanny's case these will range from contemporary fellow writers questioning ways and means in their art and all who find their enterprise of interest, to those who feel themselves confronted with deeply ingrained questions of religion, person, society, gender, politics, which almost anyone alive at this moment is trying to answer."

--Robert Creeley

"The questions Howe asks are classic for good reason: Can anyone ever let anyone else in, really? And once they have, can they let go? The last lines provide a kind of answer that might take someone a lifetime to understand and express."

--Hayley Mlotek, The Atlantic
