Description: "There is no writer quite like Lucy Corin. Her control over language--her unique phrasing feels like an incantation--leads the reader willingly toward their own reckoning. What makes Corin such an amazing writer, one of my favorites, is that once she brings you to the end you don't want to leave, because, as she says in one of her apocalypses, 'finally it was all so beautiful.'" --Kevin Wilson, author of The Family Fang "Unforgettable voices resist description. Lucy Corin sounds like no o prickly, shrewd, faintly paranoid or furtive, witty and also savage, she has something of Paley's gift for soliloquy combined with Dickinson's passionate need to hold the world at bay, that sense of a voice emanating from a Skinner box. Her achievement is already dazzling, he promise immense." --Citation of the American Academy of Arts and Letters Rome Prize
