Faithful Rebecca - Reviews

"This is a wonderful novel, filled with humor, mysticism and wit. Janice Eidus takes us on an extraordinary trip into her specialized universe, and I can't imagine a reader who wouldn't be a willing traveler. Faithful Rebecca is a delight."

- Meg Wolitzer

About Janice Eidus' short fiction:

"Janice Eidus' fiction puts a fine comic spin on her material. Her young women, and their men, inhabit a downward-mobile urban reality that pleasingly verges upon the fantastic, and now and then crosses that verge."

- John Barth

"Janice Eidus' uncanny fiction rings with broad humor, intelligence, and heart. Also - what is rarest these days - it is truly idiosyncratic. I can't think of another writer who takes so many risks, and gets so much out of them. She is an original."

- David Leavitt

"Janice Eidus presents herself as one who understands, sympathizes, can even smile a little, though always without malice… One may, as a reader, respond to the immediacy and involvement of …Janice Eidus."

- Vance Bourjaily

"Eidus introduces surreal elements into her style, combining the real and the fantastic so skillfully it is frequently impossible to know with certainty where one ends and the other begins."
