»My book of the year!«

»With Summer Women, Winter Women Kraus lives up to his name as a brilliant story-teller.«

»[. . .] in its topics the novel unifies the merciless, the funny and the private.«

»Chris Kraus has written a fanciful novel about guilt and love.«

»In his extraordinarily beautiful language, author and director Chris Kraus tells the story of uptight art student Jonas, who is supposed to make a sex film in 1990s New York.«

»This has resulted in a breathtakingly beautiful, profoundly touching love story, filled with detailed snapshots of failed existences.«

»Chris Kraus is excellent at observing the small things. Even in grotesque contexts he highlights the detail and makes delightful comparisons.«

»A floating effortlessness passes through the whole book, which makes reading it invariably pleasurable and gripping. As if anything could happen. A stronger potion than any other form of suspense.«

»The figures are portrayed with a great deal of authenticity.«

»Summer Women, Winter Women is exciting. With a delightful humour, a delightful poetry, a delightful tenderness.«

»In the shape of a diary which you devour every day like a small novella. A picturesque novel, but without any ridiculous nostalgia. An homage full of finesse and tenderness towards all survivors.«
