Lucky in the Corner

“Carol Anshaw is an ingenious and generous-souled storyteller, deliciously funny while she’s being serious (or is it the other way around?). Lucky in the Corner complicates its portraits of mothers, daughters, friends, lovers (and dogs), with profound shadows that make them wholly real and, in spite of—or maybe because of—their confusions and conflicts, mightily endearing.”

Seven Moves

“Engrossing…it deftly explores the varying forms identity can take when complicated by love and desire.”

—New York Times Book Review

“The exquisite intelligence of the prose, the focus on sexual fascination, and the deft portrayal of a relentlessly contemporary American scene [all] remind me of John Updike’s work.”

Aquamarine

“The most original American novel in years.”

—Chicago Tribune

“This is a swift, tender, highly intelligent book – an original theme, a strong voice…vigorous and humane.”

—Shirley Hazzard

“Anshaw’s vision is so generous and all-encompassing…we’re left…with the feeling that human beings are so complicated and interesting that we all could have ended up anywhere, doing anything…Anshaw seems to have had a lot of fun writing this book, and it’s a delight to read.”
