Reviews
There’s something beautifully wild and dangerous about this book . . . My Good Bright Wolf is a howl both exquisitely anguished and profound. It’s further proof that Moss is a towering figure in the contemporary literary landscape.Lucy Scholes, The Telegraph
I've never read anything quite like My Good Bright Wolf. Part memoir, part confessional, part dark and feverish fairytale, Moss explores her subject matter with characteristic attentiveness and unflinching honesty. This book invites the reader to step into the narrator's oftentimes uncomfortable shoes and, in doing so, confront what it means to be a woman, an artist, a human being, trying to find a way to be.Jan Carson, author of The Raptures
A counterspell to the dark enchantment of anorexia, and an utterly original testimonial of great candour and eloquence, hope and redemption. An unflinching take on feminist and literary history, the indignities of illness, and the vulnerabilities of childhood. Sarah Moss does it again.Gavin Francis
Devastating, funny and full of brilliant insights. This is a brave book, but more than that it is generous. It has made me think about how incredibly porous we all are: to our families, to society, to culture, to each other. That's why this book is important: it asks us to take responsibility for our impact on each other.Melissa Harrison
