       Praise for The Lost Landscape:

      ‘As profound, as thorough and, at times, as dark as anything Oates has ever done’

       Buffalo News

      ‘Offers a window into a highly original mind. While it is never a given that a writer’s personal story can illuminate her work, in Oates’s case, it very much does’

       Minneapolis Star Tribune

      ‘A window into one of our most powerful writers’ coming-of-age and the forces affecting how she sees and writes the world’

       Christian Science Monitor

      ‘Oates perfectly captures the unique confusion of childhood, brought on by the unsatisfying explanations of adults’

      Elle (US)

      ‘An exquisitely rendered glimpse of Oates’s childhood in rural upstate New York’
