Ten Days in the Hills Reviews

"A blazing farce, a fiery satire of contemporary celebrity culture and a rich, simmering meditation on the price of war and fame and desire." --"Los Angeles Times Book Review"
"A raunchy survey of the human condition. . . . A modern-day "Decameron,""
--John Updike, "The New Yorker"
"Luxurious. . . . The extremely talented and ever-surprising Jane Smiley . . . deftly transposes the central themes and rich atmosphere of a literary classic to contemporary America."
--"Entertainment Weekly"
"Sprawling, languid, randy . . . "Ten Days in the Hills" is a novel, and a shimmering one at that, of social observations, archly written and mordantly funny."
--"San Francisco Chronicle"
