Reviews for In the Land of Dreamy Dreams: Stories (Southern Revivals)
Ellen Gilchrist writes the most wonderful sentences, which don’t sound like anybody else's. She has made out (and right at the beginning of her writing life) this flexible, musical, teasing long line which can carry her whole personality onto the page... Gilchrist is a wonderfully reckless writer of recklessness." - Tessa Hadley, Times Literary Supplement
