Critical Praise

"The Great Man is as unexpectedly generous as it is entertaining . . . Christensen is a witty observer of the art universe."

—Janet Maslin, New York Times

"Christensen's writing is clear-eyed, bitingly funny, and supremely caustic about the niceties of social relations, contemporary American culture, and sexual politics."

—Vince Passaro, O, The Oprah Magazine

"Christensen is a writer of exceptional polish and keen intent, lacing her clever, well-designed plot with intriguing observations about the evolution (some might say devolution) of art, the inequities between men and women, and the insidiousness of racism... Great fun from start to finish."

—Donna Seaman, Chicago Tribune

"Present[s] vital characters who challenge typical depictions of the elderly as so conservative. These women are complicated, smart, witty, and sexy --- even Internet savvy!"

—Glen Helfand, San Francisco Bay Guardian
