Critics Review
Beautifully crafted … These stories hand their warnings to us: Don’t be pleasant or easy to touch. Look mean for the camera. Just get up and go - New York Times
Danielle Lazarin’s Back Talk is deceptively quiet but packs a powerful punch-much like the girls and women in its pages. The stories in this collection batter at the boundaries of female desire-not just for sex, but for intimacy, for visibility, for agency.
