'Brilliant. A contemporary take on Single White Female as scripted by Miranda July, shot through with elements of a distinctly Atwoodian dystopia' Observer

'A disturbing, super-smart mystery' Daily Mail

'As good a debut as I've ever read' Zadie Smith

You Too Can Have a Body Like Mine Bewertungen

'An existential thriller written in prose that points the way to the future. You Too Can Have a Body Like Mine is as good a debut as I've ever read' Zadie Smith

'A disturbing, super-smart mystery' Daily Mail

'Strange, entertaining ... a clever satire on the naval-gazing horrors of contemporary life' Financial Times

'Weird and wonderful' Metro

'Kleeman tackles zeitgeist female themes of wellness, orthorexia and individualism with a sharp and original voice. Most potent is her uncanny fascination with the body, which leaves you feeling totally off-kilter with your own' Sunday Times

'Absurd and brilliant ... exalts in inventive, visceral language' Daily Telegraph

'Alexandra Kleeman's debut tackles gender dynamics; advertising; our relationship with food, and ponders what it means to be a woman living in a world obsessed with how the female body looks' Psychologies

'Destined to be one of the most talked about books this year' Reader's Digest

'Everyone knows we inhabit a woozy landscape of flatness, repetition and irregular bodies, and here at last is its hyper-contemporary description. Alexandra Kleeman possesses a new tone - comical, malignant and addictive' Adam Thirlwell

'Thomas Pynchon. David Foster Wallace. Don de Lillo. Haruki Murakami ... No one seems to have considered what a feminine equivalent might be. You Too Can Have a Body Like Mine provides the answer' Emerald Street

'The next voice of a generation' Elle
