Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

“Refreshing tales, laced with bitter humor and nineties pop- culture references.” —Elle
“Suzanne Rivecca is a wonderfully lively and fearless new writer. I greatly admired the stories in Death Is Not an Option.” —Lorrie Moore, New York Times bestselling author
“Recalls early Gaitskill in its stark depiction of girls who lost their innocence long before they knew it was theirs to lose.” —Vogue
“Ferociously intelligent…Rivecca populates her stories with imperfect, acutely drawn characters, which is a rare pleasure, simply because her approximations are so believable.” —San Francisco Chronicle
“[Rivecca’s] talent allows her to impressively flex the muscle of fiction, making us keep our attention where it belongs—on these bracing stories promising a fine career.” —NPR
