ELLEN DOUGLAS "is like nobody else."*
"She attacks with unladylike power and gusto, with a style at once cheerful and sardonic, with a kind of black-hearted good humor, and with an inventiveness which puts some outlandish folk up to some wondrous doings." -- Walker Percy
"Unsettling. Brilliant. Urgent and relentless in her search for truth--a truth." -- Ursula Hegi
"For all her deceptively quiet manner and muted ton, her own perception is fierce." -- Elizabeth Spencer
"She demonstrates a mastery of technique that brings to mind the exquisite texture of Philip Roth. But finally, she is like nobody else." -- *Michael Dorris
"It's possible to think that some people were simply born to write. Ellen Douglas is just such a writer." -- Richard Ford
