" There is no other writer alive for whom it is conceivable to have produced Second Place. Not, perhaps, because it is her best—Arlington Park, The Bradshaw Variations, and the Outline trilogy all have better claims to the title—but because it is, in wholly fresh and remarkable manner, another deviation from her extant oeuvre, another masterwork of inventiveness, another stage in the ongoing Cuskian revolution of what the novel can be."
