Art Does (Not!) Exist - Reviews

"Her mastery of tone, the brilliance with which she sustains the dream consciousness - the simple, clear; bone-hard use of language which implies a world of despair - is something really gorgeous and very difficult. The energy! Since her first book, I Am the Beautiful Stranger, I have always felt that Miss Drexler has something very important to say. Her gift is in probing the very American netherworld between sanity and incipient madness; the interiorization of the mind as modern life spins out of control and we are powerless to affect it."

- John Lahr, the New Yorker

"Rosalyn Drexler continues to write some of the most intelligent, powerful, and winsome fiction being written today. She has written eight brilliant novels, and will go on writing brilliant novels. Recognition of her work is long overdue. I can't think of a writer more worthy of support: her fiction is infinitely valuable (I thought Bad Guy was a masterpiece), and she is committed to a lifetime struggle for excellence."

- Annie Dillard
