a high level in Ghost Lights.”
—Josh Emmons, New York Times Book Review
“Thrilling, witty, and philosophical.”
—Kimberly Cutter, Marie Claire

—Brock Clarke, Boston Globe

—Carolyn Cooke, San Francisco Chronicle
“Breathtaking descriptions not only of nature but of everyday minutiae mixed in with just enough drop-dead satire.”
—Karen Brady, Buffalo News
“One of America’s most daring writers.”
—J. Peder Zane, News & Observer
“Millet’s got a visionary sensibility, marked by a voice that is by turns biting and dark.”
—David L. Ulin, Los Angeles Times
“Millet [is] a writer of encompassing empathy and imaginative lyricism and a satirist of great wit and heart.”
—Donna Seaman, Booklist
“If Kurt Vonnegut were still alive, he would be extremely jealous.”
—James Hannaham, Village Voice
