Julie Myerson, Mail on Sunday
Oates is one of the finest and most devastating living writers . . . this novel [is] extraordinary . . . a darkly comic monologue of panic and desperation, which, thankfully, allows you back up once it's dragged you down
Washington Post
Hypnotic and powerful. Man Crazy will take you on a dark and wild ride
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
The bizarre twists and turns of Ingrid's life take on a hallucinatory intensity ... the one constant of the gripping story - the emotional deprivation that has scarred Ingrid for life - comes through with a fierce burning clarity
SUNDAY TIMES
Her writing is sinister, gothic and full of atmosphere . . . one of America's most original and disturbing voices
Chicago Tribune
Flawlessly written and haunting . . . Man Crazy demonstrates a distinctly American faith in the tenacious human spirit

Kirkus Reviews
Oates shows us the paradoxical resilience that sustains people who endure more than we can imagine, and somehow hang on. Her boldly drawn grotesques reach out to us, making us believe in them and care about their fates
Atlanta Journal
Unlike anything Joyce Carol Oates has written before
