Reviews

Praise for The Spectacle of the Body: "Ms. Holland habitually challenges the usual limits of language, but the effects of her exuberance are never precious and often turn suddenly into beauty; her characters portray themselves in a discourse that is startling but genuine, the secret syntax of real lives." --William Ferguson, New York Times Book Review

"In wonderfully cadenced and concise prose, Swim for the Little One First cracks the chests of struggling lives to show the hearts beating within. These stories of difficulty are not sentimental, nor are they artificially cold: they are wonderfully, nakedly human." --Brian Evenson, author of The Wavering Knife

"The syncopated rhythms of Noy Holland's rapturous prose jolt the heart and spark the senses. If you can bear to explore the limits of your own compassion, open this book to 'Blood Country' or 'Milk River.' You cannot prepare yourself: you can only surrender." --Melanie Rae Thon, author of The Voice of the River and In This Light
