"Fiendishly entertaining."New York Times
-
"As a piece of writing it is nearly faultless; as satire it is an act of devastation."John Woodburn, The New Republic
-
"You'd better buy The Loved One, because I can't imagine a purchase apt to corrupt and delight you more...Never before that I can remember has a talent of such austere and classic design been applie to such monstrous vulgarities; never before have the majestic themes of love and death been so delicately perverted to absurdity....It is certainly a work of art, as rich and subtle and unnerving as anything its author has ever done."Wolcott Gibbs, The New Yorker
