Gaitskill writes so radiantly about violent self-loathing that the very incongruousness of her language has shocking power. * The New York Times *
This characteristically oblique glance at the US fashion modeling industry of the 1980s is written with all the psychological kick that distinguished Gaitskill's last collection of stories. -- DJ Taylor * TLS Books of the Year *
Gaitskill is enormously gifted ... [Veronica] is a masterly examination of the relationship between surface and self, culture and fashion, time and memory. * The New York Times Book Review *
Both stripped-bare fragile and 'fuck you' tough. * Dazed & Confused *
