"[A] promising but erratic first novel....THE MINERAL PALACE may flirt foolishly with cinematic busyness and turn ridiculous now and then..., but the best part of the novel maintain a seductive mood."
Anita Gates, New York Times Book Review, 09/24/2000
Review:"[A] strange tale of mystery and deception that is, by turns, engaging and confusing....Julavits is a talented writer. Her descriptions paint vivid, menacing pictures of Pueblo and its surroundings....At times, THE MINERAL PALACE gets too ambitious for its own good, succumbing to overwriting and heavy-handedness. Pueblo's eccentric inhabitants include an extraordinary number of wounded individuals and barren mothers; the reader begins to wonder if anyone in this town is healthy....THE MINERAL PALACE's flaws are especially disappointing because so much of Julavits's tale is so engrossing."
Heather Hewitt, Washington Post Book World, 09/24/2000
