Reviews
It is necessary to read no more than two or three of Miss Mansfield's stories before discovering that she has great talent. And after reading all of them, including her first volume, Bliss, there is no doubt at all that this talent amounts to the rare thing which a lack of a juster word to express our enthusiasms we call genius, and that her name must be added to that small company of the living... who really have something to say, and can say it uncommonly well. -- Robert Littell * New Republic * I was jealous of her writing - the only writing I have ever been jealous of. -- Virginia Woolf
