Rezensionen
"Oates is at her best - and make no mistake, her best can be spellbinding and heart-wrenching - when she inhabits Jessalyn." - New York Times Book Review

"There is much to relish in Night. Sleep. Death. The Stars., from its nimble pace to exuberant set pieces." - The Guardian

"Timely, monumental. . . . Yet another piercing examination of American culture by the writer this reviewer considers our country's greatest living novelist. . . . It is brilliant. How blessed we are to have her as a novelist in our chaotic, confusing times. Night is spot on for these times of racial divide, as well as in portraying the fractious family dynamic that many of us know all too well. . . . Night deserves the top spot on your quarantine nightstand. Here's a fervent salute to Oates, our finest American novelist, for this one." - Star Tribune

"This is a significant and admirable entry in the Oates canon." - Publishers Weekly (starred review)
