"The characters that haunt Adam Ehrlich Sachs's fiction...possess minds that Lichtenberg might have deemed 'original.' They exhibit qualities of both genius and madness."
"Gretel and the Great War is framed as a found text comprising a series of letters...The girl's name is Gretel, the patient writes, and she's not mute at all."
"In its imbalanced way, the novel becomes the perfect vessel to carry and satirize the post-rational ideas of a self-obsessed society."
"It's fitting...that his second novel, Gretel and the Great War...be...a wonderfully disproportionate book that eschews the familiar and stultifying comforts of moderation."
