“Douglas Glover is a master of voice. From his early stories to his remarkable retelling of the legend of Marguerite de Roberval in the novel, Elle, he has demonstrated an inventive and agile use of narrative and a wonderful facility for language. His work is wide-ranging, full of wit and passion, and speaks convincingly to the many and diverse human truths.”
