Review: 'Miss Young is a poet, and in this long, long prose-poem she becomes a poet celebrating sheer uncertainty, a lyrical lover of blur. She has started with a valid insight, that life is often a deception, that faces are often masks--the insight, in fact, that underlies most contemporary fiction. But she has made the insight so central, so explicit, so systematic that the insight has devoured her. She has slipped across the danger line between the intuition that life is a dream and the dogma that dreams are life....The book's mysterious readability is effected through enchantment and hypnosis,. Its force is cumulative; its method is amassment, as in the great styles of Joyce or Hermann Broch or Melville or Faulkner....It is a masterwork.'
