One of The New Yorker's "Best Books We Read in 2021"

"I could smother the book with adoration-it is aching and maddening, intelligent and wildly sexy. But it would be simpler to say that reading it is like meeting someone new and feeling the world come undone. Here is a book that insists that the desire for fiction, for its mimicry and its mirage, is indistinguishable from the desire for another person." -Merve Emre, The New Yorker

"Winner of the Prix Medicis, this intense collection of Garreta's memories of past loves-written under strict Oulipian constraints-is at times at once tender, bitter, and intimate." -Literary Hub

"Garreta more or less perfected the post-modern confessional, doing so with a self-awareness that many authors fail to accomplish... Not One Day is a casual revelation; a delight." -Sean Redmond, fields Magazine

"Deep Vellum has brought out one of the best books I've read this year, one whose compact nature contains more room inside than might be guessed from its modest exterior. Happily, Anne Garreta's ambition is to create books that are not the products of an assembly line." -Jeff Bursey, The Winnipeg Review
