Lend Me Your Character
“A madcap wit and a lively sense of the absurd . . . Filled with ingenious invention and surreal incident.” (Marina Warner)“As long as as some, like Ugresic, who can write well, do, there will be hope for literature.” (New Criterion)“Ugresic must be numbered among what Jacques Maritain called the dreamers of the true; she draws us into the dream.” (The New York Times)“Ugresic's wit is bound by no preconceived purposes, and once the story takes off, a wild freedom of association and adventurous discernment is set in motion. Open to the absurdity of all pretensions of rationality, Ugresic dissects the social world, especially the endless nuances of gender and sexuality.” (World Literature Today)
