Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

"An infrared view of Sex and the City, a snapshot plunged in an acrid bath."-"The Globe and Mail"

"With an extraordinary sense of the mechanisms of love and the empathy of a saint for the human race, Celine Curiol gives us the most original and the best new book of the year."-"Marie Claire"

"Recalls the most disturbing moments in Marguerite Duras's work...[A] strange, sinister and compelling novel."-"Financial Times"

"The product of exquisite craft...It manages to be technically accomplished while being technically daring."-"Women's Review of Books"

"An auspicious debut."-"Bookforum"

"An hypnotic novel...Curiol makes agonizingly immediate the young woman's obsession with an unavailable man."-"The New York Times Book Review"

"It is the (literary) voice of the anonymous narrator and its painful honesty that makes "Voice Over" surprisingly touching and compelling. Curiol's evocation of the sex, anxiety, loneliness and madness that makes up life in a big city cuts very clos

This smashing debut novel sparkles with mordant humor and sexy charm.
