Pressezitat
'An existential thriller written in prose that points the way to the future. You Too Can Have a Body Like Mine is as good a debut as I've ever read' Zadie Smith 'A disturbing, super-smart mystery' Daily Mail
'Strange, entertaining ... a clever satire on the naval-gazing horrors of contemporary life' Financial Times
'Weird and wonderful' Metro
'Kleeman tackles zeitgeist female themes of wellness, orthorexia and individualism with a sharp and original voice. Most potent is her uncanny fascination with the body, which leaves you feeling totally off-kilter with your own' Sunday Times
'Absurd and brilliant ... exalts in inventive, visceral language' Daily Telegraph
'Alexandra Kleeman's debut tackles gender dynamics; advertising; our relationship with food, and ponders what it means to be a woman living in a world obsessed with how the female body looks' Psychologies
'Destined to be one of the most talked about books this year' Reader's Digest
'Everyone knows we inhabit a woozy landscape of flatness, repetition and irregular bodies, and here at last is its hyper-contemporary description. Alexandra Kleeman possesses a new tone - comical, malignant and addictive' Adam Thirlwell
'Thomas Pynchon. David Foster Wallace. Don de Lillo. Haruki Murakami ... No one seems to have considered what a feminine equivalent might be. You Too Can Have a Body Like Mine provides the answer' Emerald Street
'The next voice of a generation' Elle
