Reviews

I am a long-standing passionate fan of Aimee Bender's stories. Her images explode, her words ignite.

—— Alice Sebold, author of The Lovely Bones

Contemporary fairy tales … and a deep tenderness for her characters, that aren’t always as dark or as sinister as they initially appear.

—— The New York Times Book Review

To curl up with an Aimee Bender story is to thank heaven you ever learned to read in the first place.

—— Entertainment Weekly

New, exciting, harsh, rugged and unyielding … Every sentence … is a fresh surprise.

—— The Washington Post

[Bender] is Hemingway on an acid trip; her choices are twisted, both ethereal and surprisingly weighty … Terrifyingly lovely.

—— Los Angeles Times

Her imagination packs all the gleaming surreality of a Magritte painting, her wry tone the poker-faced irony of a Haruki Murakami novel, her furious satire the bite of a Lynda Barry cartoon. The stories in Willful Creatures delight even as they unsettle.

—— Time Out New York

The ingenious and original master of the short story overflows with absurdity, humour, longing and compassion... Keret's most mature and most playful work yet, and establises him as one of the great international writers of our time

—— GQ

Distinctive, surreal and intelligent

—— Antonia Charlesworth , Big Issue in the North

Sublimely irresistible
