Reviews: Praise for Téa Obreht and The Tiger's Wife WINNER OF THE ORANGE PRIZE FINALIST FOR THE NATIONAL BOOK AWARD "Téa Obreht is the most thrilling literary discovery in years." --Colum McCann "Stunning . . . a richly textured and searing novel." --Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times "Spectacular . . . [Obreht] spins a tale of such marvel and magic in a literary voice so enchanting that the mesmerized reader wants her never to stop. [Grade] A" -- Entertainment Weekly "[Obreht] has a talent for subtle plotting that eludes most writers twice her age, and her descriptive powers suggest a kind of channeled genius. . . . No novel [this year] has been more satisfying." -- The Wall Street Journal "Filled with astonishing immediacy and presence, fleshed out with detail that seems firsthand, The Tiger's Wife is all the more remarkable for being the product not of observation but of imagination." -- The New York Times Book Review "A tremendously talented writer." --Ann Patchett "So rich with themes of love, legends and mortality that every novel that comes after it this year is in peril of falling short in comparison with its uncanny beauty." -- Time "That The Tiger's Wife never slips entirely into magical realism is part of its magic. . . . Its graceful commingling of contemporary realism and village legend seems even more absorbing." -- The Washington Post "Mesmerizing . . . Obreht's striking ability to explain the world through stories is matched by her patience with the parts of life--and death--that endlessly confound us." -- The Boston Globe, "Obreht brings her extraordinarily intricate worldview, psychological and social acuity, descriptive artistry, and shrewd, witty, and zestful storytelling to another provocative inquiry into the mysteries of place, nature, and human complexities. . . . Obreht inventively and scathingly dramatizes the delirium of the West--its myths, hardships, greed, racism, sexism, and violence--in a tornadic novel of stoicism, anguish, and wonder." -- Booklist (starred review) "A bracingly epic and imaginatively mythic journey across the American West in 1893, in which the lives of a former outlaw and a frontierswoman collide and intertwine." -- Entertainment Weekly |
