Your Satisfaction is Guaranteed:

Review:
"The novel's considerable technical sophistication aside, even the most willing reader will find it difficult to empathize with these literate whiners."
Kirkus, 11/01/2001
Review:"[Y]ou sometimes wish the novel were more overt in its storytelling. This is a familiar wish with Grossman, for whom the requirements of intellectual speculation and narrative momentum often clash. But in this extraordinary, exotic novel, more than in any of his others, Grossman has brought all his strengths to bear. There's no device in BE MY KNIFE that's not entirely necessary. It is a fully realized work of fiction, and it unfolds as a flood of the most deeply felt emotions."
Neil Gordon, New York Times Book Review, 01/13/2002
