The Devil's Grip

Praise

“This madcap offering from Wolff…zags from the heady sweetness of Florence to the mystical allure of New Orleans…rendered monstrously and magnificently. It’s a provocative addition to Wolff’s impressive canon.” —Publishers Weekly
 
“A magnetic fever dream…a fast-paced novel, hypnotically translated by Saskia Vogel…[This] Lynchian drama about gendered, relational violence…is sure to mesmerize and terrify readers in equal measure.” —Shelf Awareness
 
“Readers feel the oppressive, claustrophobic situation of being mired in a relationship detrimental to both body and mind. Tension surrounds the question of whether our protagonist has the capacity to escape…a frightening odyssey toward the understanding of self and of someone who is ultimately unknown to you.” —Booklist

“Deliciously disturbing, The Devil’s Grip had me reading with my jaw open. Wolff’s unique, ferocious voice shone in its tender depravity thanks to an expert translation by Saskia Vogel. I could not put it down.” —Jade Song, author of Chlorine

“The Devil’s Grip pulls you along like white-water rapids. A deceptively simple concept explored with relentless force, Wolff’s novel pushes the calamity of desire into a territory both darkly psychological and brutally real. Hot with the fires of hell and cool with the eye of a masterful artist, this is an arresting novel, translated with chic perfection by Saskia Vogel.” —Adrienne Celt, author of End of the World House
