Review Quotes: "Possibly the most beautifully written book ever composed [and] the most important novel of the century."--Frank O'Connor
"Perhaps we identify with Emma because we too feel an emptiness at the center of things--an emptiness we try to fill with books, with fantasies, with sex, with things. Her yearning is nothing more or less than the human condition in the modern world. Her search for ecstasy is ours."--Erica Jong
