Men

'There are few writers who may have changed my perception of the world, but Darrieussecq is one of them.'
* The Times *
'The internationally celebrated author who illuminates those parts of life other writers cannot or do not want to reach.'
* Independent *
'Compelling...Anyone who has experienced heartbreak will relate...A moody, powerful book.' * Age/Sydney Morning Herald *
'This is an atmospheric novel, written in prose that is at once evocative and compulsive...For those in the market for a nuanced and thought-provoking dissection of race and gender relations and who are willing to risk being infuriated, Men is an easy and engaging read.' * NZ Listener *
`As a chronicle of the humiliations and occasional joys of loving someone whose own feelings are more ambiguous...it feels queasily accurate...A sometimes biting, often sharply observed take on a relationship one would surely rather read about than be part of.' * Kirkus *
`An intelligent critique of the intersection between the personal and political, a funny and moving love story, a gorgeous portrayal of the film-making scene, Men is a singular achievement from a writer of enormous talent ' * i Newspaper *
'[Readers will] find themselves enchanted by Darrieussecq's silken, dreamy prose and this sly exploration of female desire and interracial couplings.' * Booklist *
