Recenzii
"White Nights is the study of a failing family—how it is dismantled from within, how it is threatened by the world outside. DeWitt steers headlong into the most intimate and uncomfortable aspects of this disintegration." –BookForum
"DeWitt's novel is a powerful and haunting debut from an author who has an ear for lyricism and an eye on what is hidden just beneath the surface." –Publishers Weekly
"A stunning achievement that feels like a new classic in the coming of age genre, pushing the usual boundaries with every exact and envisaging sentence." –Electric Literature
"Wild, often violent, and jarringly beautiful." –Interview Magazine
"White Nights in Split Town City is the story of what it means to feel desired and plugged in to what surrounds us, and how this informs our identities from a very, young age." –Los Angeles Review of Books
"Annie DeWitt’s work represents a sort of minimalism comparable to such writers as Amy Hempel and Christine Schutt." –The Believer
"DeWitt’s first 'slender storm of a novel' White Nights in Split Town City lands on the scene with a fury worthy of a cowboy western." –The Millions
