"Women have played such a radically important role in the history of the novel...you would think that by this time America might have produced a dramatic and moving bildungsroman about a female writer in her formative years, something along the lines of A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man. Finally, after 150 years and more of the novel's evolution in the U.S., we have a book that more than fills the role: Gail Godwin's novel Queen of the Underworld."
- Chicago Tribune
"Mesmerizing...The wizardry of this novel is its pitch-perfect rendition of what it was like to be a true solo artist, a female of ambition coming out of the 1950s America...[Queen of the Underworld] is a delight" -The Boston Globe
