PRAISE FOR The Word for Woman Is Wilderness

“The Word for Woman Is Wilderness is unlike any published work I have read, in ways that are beguiling, audacious… rises to its own challenges in engaging intellectually as well as wholeheartedly with its questions about gender, genre and the concept of wilderness. The novel displays wide reading, clever writing and amusing dialogue.”

—Sarah Moss, The Guardian

“This is not reconciliatory prose. It doesn’t seek to please. It’s not asking for your acceptance or the benediction of this review. It is far stronger than that. It is a quiet, sardonic, funny, fluid text, a visionary book, that shows us the future is in fact already here.”

—Nick Hayes, Caught by the River

“A gripping feminist reimagining of Into the Wild.” —Elle

“A thinking woman’s adventure story… [Andrews’ prose has] grace and reflection… beautiful, thoughtful, and often humorous.”

—Lucy Scholes, The National

“The many-colored themes and ideas in the book are themselves painted on complex and overlapping canvases—of feminism, in an age of wilderness, but a wilderness that has been warped as it becomes embedded in the Anthropocene.” —The Ecologist

“A good book is one that makes you think about your own life. A great book is one that challenges your thinking. But it is a truly remarkable book that changes how you think, and The Word for Woman Is Wilderness had that effect on me. I can’t give it higher praise than that.” —Bookmunch

“[The Word for Woman Is Wilderness] is immersive, thought-provoking, and a unique reading experience.” —Jenny Colvin, Reading Envy

“Clever, funny and thoughtful.”

—Will Ashon, author of Strange Labyrinth
