""Dazzling . . . Griffith's lyrical prose emphasizes the savagery of the political landscape."" --Paris Review Daily on Hild ""Uncompromisingly packed with non-dogmatic feminist and queer ideologies. . . . Griffith reveals herself to be fluent in presenting realistic science and its implications, capable of cinematic clarity in her prose, insightful with emotions and character."" --Washington Post Book World ""Ms. Griffith is an astonishingly gifted writer. . . . Her work is of the very best in the lesbian and gay literary field."" --Allen Ginsberg ""In Griffith's hands, a conversation . . . is as thrilling as a spear thrust through a man's cheek."" --Nicole Rudick, New York Review of Books on Menewood ""Gorgeously supple prose . . . startlingly beautiful"" --Amal El-Mohtar, on Hild, NPR ""With its persuasive characters trying to form identities in an unstable society, its midnight streets and shabby apartments, and its vast industrial engines, Slow River is a powerful prose poem on issues that are already with us."" --Gary Wolfe, Locus ""Nicola Griffith's prose is beautiful in every sense of the word."" --April Adams, The Lesbian Review ""Griffith brings all her genius to this book."" --Maria Dahvana Headley on Menewood ""A serious assault on conventions so enormous that it is very much more dangerous, sometimes, than writing about lesbianism."" --Dorothy Allison on Ammonite ""A body-slam of empowerment, a roar of frustration so sustained and compelling that it cannot be ignored."" --Katharine Coldiron, Arts Fuse on So Lucky ""Incisive and devastatingly beautiful."" --Vulture on Spear ""Brutal, unsparing . . . full of power and healing."" --Joanne Rixon, Seattle Times review of So Lucky ""Nicola Griffith's first novel, Ammonite, flies all the banners of traditional sf but beneath the banners, it is armed to the teeth against convention."" --Interzone ""A queer Arthurian masterpiece for the modern age."" --Los Angeles Times on Spear ""Hild is a world built fiber by fiber from the ground up, immersive as a river in rain."" --Amal El-Mohtar, NPR, on Hild ""Griffith's prose is at once brutal and beautifully wrought"" --San Diego Union-Tribune on Stay ""A knockout!"" --Ursula K. Le Guin on Ammonite ""Fierce! A disconcerting but very necessary book."" --Dana Hansen, Chicago Review of Books, on So Lucky ""A classic for the ages."" --Karen Rought, Subjectify, on Spear ""Luxuriously long and utterly absorbing."" --The Guardian, on Hild
