Critical Praise

“Remarkable... Lacey displays an exceptional ability to articulate the elusiveness of knowing others, as well as the desire to find meaning and trust within."

—Publishers Weekly (starred review)

“Catherine Lacey is one of the most intelligent and brittle and funny writers of her generation. In THE ANSWERS, she builds --- out of the raw stuff of bewilderment and absence --- a soaring, heartbreaking work that’s just on the right side of being nearly too beautiful to bear.”
