Mallon, Thomas, New York Times Book Review: "There is an artificiality to some of this maneuvering, and a tendency to spell out connections...and yet Ms. Barrett's scientific bent is sufficiently rare among fiction writers, and her concoctions so cunningly mixed, that dissatisfaction seems out of place...Ms. Barrett's narrative laboratory is stocked with a handsome array of equipment. She tells her stories through alternating voices, diaries, letters--whatever seems to hint at the most promising results...her work stands out for its sheer intelligence, its painstaking attempt to discern and describe the world's configuration. The overall effect is quietly dazzling, like looking at handmade paper under a microscope." |
