SLAVES OF NEW YORK TAMA JANOWITZ
'If there were a literary equivalent to a new Talking Heads album, Slaves of New
York be that book'
MADEMOISELLE
'Tama Janowitz is a clever writer. She draws trendy New York pop-artsies to a T.

'Janowitz is a fearless writer. Her details are quirky, her language is lean, and her sentences sprint along with deceptive ease. The protagonists in her stories share with her a shyness and a sense of always being out of place. Although they try in earnest to fit in, they put on the wrong clothes or say the wrong thing or fail to grasp the subtle messages other people send their way With the publication of Slaves of New York, Tama Janowitz could become the most talked-about writer of the year' NEW YORK
'With the younger generation of writers already buried under a mound of volcanic hype, it is remarkable that Janowitz, unsmothered by the critical acclaim for her nowelAmerican Dad, can write with such freshness' ELLE
'The shrewd observation, the skewed invention are the gifts of a singular talent'
