🖤The genius of The Visitor lies in [Brennan’s] refusal, as an artist, to paint a tale in black and white. While her characters may be selfish, cruel, frivolous or snobbish, there’s always something on the other side. A pain, an insult, a wound, a grief🖤

American Genius, A Comedy is a ‘captivating, strange novel’ narrated by ‘a postmodern successor to such endearingly digressive women as Winnie from Beckett’s Happy Days or Joyce’s Molly Bloom.’ 🖤
