Notice

“This book gutted me and played me and broke my heart, invented a game of truth or dare that was also a round of Russian roulette, ran a race with no warning shot.”—Emmeline Clein, Los Angeles Review of Books“Notice is an irreducible text, unforgettable, nearly unbearable, but never unbelievable.”—Dale Peck, The Believer“Lewis’s work is full of horror … bursting with equal parts spark and smoke. Her characters are always active, always enduring and surviving the greatest atrocities by lending the wheel to the evil and unwieldy, stealing it back before the great crash.”—T Kira Madden, The Rumpus
