A Novel that Plays with Life

Kristin Benedetti continues where others put down their pens. Cool and relentless, she dissects modern life, weighs its components, and then puts them back together to a fascinating literary organism. A soulful piece of writing, presented quite unsentimentally.

NYT: Kristin Benedetti, is seems no matter what you try your hand at is a success. We in New York read your books, shake our head, and would rather return back to our parties, but there is this small part in us that continues to bother us in a wonderful way, just like an olive that has fallen into a cocktail it does not belong in. We are upset all night long. And so finally we start reflecting. This basically describes the Benedetti effect...
KB: Thanks. I would call that calculated truth.
