Marisa Silver's fantastically inventive new novel counters expectations at every turn....The novel's open ending lingers unsettlingly in the mind....Silver manages to transform the fairy tale without losing its power. -Fran Bigman, The Washington Post

Marisa Silver's fourth novel, Little Nothing , is a marvelous book...[it] is steeped in strangeness, but it's driven by a basic question that frees the best novels and their heroes when the time comes to explore their worlds: What if there's something else out there? - Mark Athitakis, BarnesandNoble.com

A dark fairy tale that pulses with life and anger, Little Nothing is a remarkable piece of fiction-fantastically written and beautifully crafted. -The Bookbag (UK)

A parable and a full-fledged, richly told story, with clearly drawn characters who beckon us to come along with them on their journeys....Silver shows us her capacity for fleet-footed writing. Little Nothing is a quick, pleasurable read, but one that's full of mysteries to stop and unpack. -Maddie Crum, The Huffington Post

In Little Nothing , Marisa Silver doesn't waver....she delivers a tale as mysterious as anything the Grimm Brothers might have collected.... Little Nothing celebrates not only the unruly and lost parts of all our lives but also the possibility of their reordering and comprehension. -Thomas Curwen, Los Angeles Times

A beautifully told, heart-rending, can't-put-it-down read....Silver masterfully balances a riveting plot with deep meaning-exploring love and its inadequacies, the persistent and unequal power of sexuality, the cost of being an outcast in a fearfully conforming society. And her language is simply stunning.
