Praise for Andrea Barrett
"A genius-enchantress. Who but Andrea Barrett can take on the inscrutable elegance of the cosmos and the messy complexity of the human heart in a single story?"
-- Karen Russell
"There is [in Andrea Barrett's writing] simply a sustained beauty of phrasing, a close care for the thing to be said and the best way to say it, that blend of precision and appropriateness that has always characterized the best prose, an attentiveness to the truth of human feeling that is in itself a supremely civilized value."
-- Barry Unsworth
"Andrea Barrett the storyteller pulls us relentlessly away from false comforts, into the dazzling, often chaotic, world as it really is."
-- April Bernard
"Andrea Barrett does not flinch from large subjects, yet her uncanny investigations into human curiosity are sensual and soul-enhancing, and always underlit by splendid intelligence."
-- Howard Norman
"In Barrett's hands, science comes alive for the reader--never staid or inflexible, but bursting with energy and ambiguity, a source of adventure, discovery, solace, and, for some characters, devastation."
-- Laura van den Berg
"To call Barrett our poet laureate of science is perfectly apropos, as long as we recognize that her specialty is the heart."
-- Dan Cryer
"[Andrea Barrett's] ability to navigate the universe's deepest mysteries with such a gentle touch is a marvel in itself."
-- Ruth Franklin
