`Deathly scenes from a wax museum come to life, in a closed, feminine world.' Cesar Aira ---------- `Lange breaks the canon that was suffocating women writers at the beginning of the twentieth century.' Delfina Muschietti ---------- `Only the dominant machismo of her era meant that Norah Lange was usually noted more for her Norwegian beauty than for her stature as a great writer. In People in the Room, Lange's intensity and clarity are reminiscent of Virginia Woolf's finest moments in Mrs Dalloway.' El Cultural
