"Guy is not just a wonderful first novel, it is a wonderful novel.
It will turn you on, disturb you, make you think and keep you
reading past your bedtime." - Winnipeg Review
"Being Guy felt horrifically natural, as if he stepped right out of
my own debased, politically incorrect sex fantasy. This book is
unputdownable, full of sly, modern details that made me laugh and
grimace right into the twist ending." - Miranda July, author of The
First Bad Man
"Byklowska paints a convincing portrait of the modern misogynist in
a novel full of hilarious and disturbingly realistic detail." -
Toronto Life
"I'm reading Jowita Bydlowska's Guy. I can't think of another novel
where a female writer gets so deeply and convincingly into the head
of a man, right into his sexual DNA. What a brave, absorbing book
this is. Truly impressive." - Barbara Gowdy
"The way that Bydlowska dives into Guy's mind feels so natural that
it's unsettling. While disturbing and disgusting, Guy's internal
narrative is pretty hilarious, but in that same dark and perverse
way that Seinfeld is funny. Bydlowska is careful not to let comedy
undercut the loathsome nature at the root of her story: this type
of toxic masculinity is very real and very dangerous. It takes
great skill to create a balanced narrative like this, and Bydlowska
proves that she has this in spades." - Broken Pencil
"What is truly terrifying about Guy is not the enemy pretending to
be a friend to women that Bydlowska has created, but the fact that
you've likely met him in your own life many times before. Guy is
the all-too-common charming abuser unchecked, able to get exactly
what he wants because he moves through the world entirely
undetected." - Globe and Mail
