Praise for The Polyglot Lovers:
âWolffâs prose has a quality of âothernessâ entirely in keeping with the surreal atmosphere of the novel. This strange, provocative debut sits well alongside the work of Roxane Gay, Katherine Angel, Maggie Nelson, Zoe Pilger, and Miranda JulyâŠa cool, clever, and fierce addition to the canon of modern feminist literature.â âThe Guardian
âA quiet raptureâunsparing, startling, mesmeric, and told with the soberest of grins.â âTimes Literary Supplement
âThe edifice of male genius is annihilated in this galvanizing novelâŠFiring on all cylinders from beginning to end, this story pulses with intellect and vitality unmatched by the literary barons it deposes.â âPublishers Weekly (starred review)
