Reviews

"Hand's terse but transporting prose keeps the reader turning pages
until Neary's gritty charm does, finally, shine through." (B) - Entertainment Weekly

* "Hand (Mortal Love) explores the narrow boundary between artistic
genius and madness in this gritty, profoundly unsettling literary
thriller." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review)

"A riveting page-turner." -- Valley Advocate

"The novel crackles with energy: it is alive." -- Nicholas Rombes, (The Ramones and New Punk Cinema)

"Intense and atmospheric, Generation Loss is an inventive brew of
postpunk attitude and dark mystery. Elizabeth Hand writes with
craftsmanship and passion." -- George Pelecanos


"Lucid and beautifully rendered. Great, unforgiving wilderness, a
vanished teenager, an excellent villain, and an obsession with art that
shades into death: what else do you need? An excellent book."

-- Brian Evenson, The Open Curtain

"This smart, dark, literary thriller will keep you up at night. A photographer who has been drinking, doing drugs, and alienating everyone around her since the '70s goes to Maine to interview a legendary photographer and gets caught up in the case of a missing girl."
-- Megan Sullivan, Boston Globe
"Hand (Mortal Love, Black Light) expertly ratchets up the suspense until it's at the level of a high-pitched scream near novel's end."
-- Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
"Cass Neary, Elizabeth Hand's unlikely heroine in her latest novel Generation Loss, may be hard to like, but I found her story is easy to love."
-- Feminist Review
