Editorial Reviews:
Review:

"This troubling tale hovers on the border between science fiction and magic realism, doing full justice to both thanks largely to the grace and vitality of Hand's writing."

Daniel Marcus, San Francisco Chronicle Book Review, 02/23/1997

Review:

"Eliot found the medieval concept of the waste land suitable for his grim view of life at the beginning of the 20th century, and now at century's end Elizabeth Hand has appropriated Eliot's poem to paint an even grimmer view of our fin de siecle. If Stephen King set out to rewrite 'The Waste Land' as a novel, the result might resemble 'Glimmering'."

Stephen Moore, Washington Post Book World, 06/08/1997
