all the rage by A.L. Kennedy
ny times sunday book review
"Twelve galvanizing, elliptical tales…[the title story is] magnificent and often acerbically funny.” —Publishers Weekly, Starred Review, Pick of the Week
“The inner lives of Londoners are revealed bit by tantalizing bit in this ethereal collection by Scottish novelist Kennedy.” —Kirkus
“One reads Kennedy for the surprise of it all, the twist in the plot that reveals the quirk in the character that confirms the righteousness of a feeling that brings it all full circle.” —Booklist
“She’s delightfully dark in one moment, and offering her quiet poetic gifts in the next…The language, the playful audacity, the raw, earned wisdom: these are all an utter joy.” —L.A. Review of Books
“Kennedy is at her best…Few writers can make our foibles so entertaining, or examine our moments of crisis with such originality and wit.” —San Francisco Chronicle
