Reviews
Both a wicked satire of the literary elite and an exploration of art and violence ... The novel is the kind that Mona imagines writing: 'terrifying, brilliant, and dangerous.' * The New Yorker *
Oloixarac's wit and ambition are evident on every page -- Hari Kunzru, author of White Tears
Sly, bitter, and smart, Mona is at once a satirical comedy, a harrowing psychological portrait of a woman's dissociation, and a philosophical indictment of the hubris of now -- Siri Hustvedt, author of Memories of the Future
In a literary culture swamped by clenched, worthy fiction and the writer as activist, her satirist's misanthropy and taste for provocation are a tonic * Observer *
