Nightwood - "I love this book so much that I named my cat Djuna. It is as strange as it is stylish, peopled with textured characters who are as lonely when they're together as when they're apart. It is a brilliant piece of Modernist fiction and, as one critic called it, 'a hymn to the dispossesed.'
Parasol Against the Axe - "Hero arrived in a trickster city on an invitation she was never meant to accept, and now her book won't stop speaking to her, uninvited friends, foes, and strangers abound, and the only thing changing faster than the present is the past. No one writes like Oyeyemi. Kaleidoscopic, incomparable, and unputdownable."
