Girl Beside Him - Reviews

"Mazza build to a violent climax whose purpose is archetypal gentleness and sorrow.  Girl Beside Him is simultaneously a metaphor for the wasting of the wild and for the wild's triumph over waste."

-Claudia Keelan

"In writing that evokes a keen sense of a particular time and place, a moment in our culture, this novel explores the boundaries between human and animal behavior, and the concept of wilderness."
