Reviews

"""A remarkable debut... written in a register many great authors write in: one that does not worry about the industry, about the audience, about the bullshit; one that cares only about the book itself. The result is miraculous.""--ABC News (Australia) ""An utterly riveting and original collection of essays--hard-thinking, formally innovative, dazzling intellectually, and sentence by sentence out-of-this-world good.""--Maria Tumarkin ""Every piece in the collection...asks you to think harder about the ways we earn money, party, and look out for each other... Driven by sharp intellect and a radiant, unaffected interest in the world around her."" --Imogen Dewey, The Guardian (Australia) ""I can't stop thinking about People Who Lunch. The book interrupts my sleep, and I desperately want to discuss it with everybody.""--Sydney Review of Books ""It's rare to find new writing this bold and exciting.""--Books+Publishing ""Anyone who saw me reading People Who Lunch in the park would have found me at turns furrowing my brow, nodding ruefully, and cackling aloud. Olds' writing is that rare combination of unsparing and enjoyable, a much needed departure from the formulaic.""--Jenny Odell, author of How to Do Nothing and Saving Time"
