What They're Saying
Critics Review
?“Fleder’s novel is dark, funny, sometimes ridiculous, and endearingly human. Its expertly paced plot is appealingly offbeat, with just enough emotion to ground the proceedings and connect readers to its complex protagonist.”–Kirkus Reviews
?“The novel stayed with me long after I finished, not because of dramatic twists, but because of how vividly it captured the quiet, unsettling encounters that can reshape a life.”–Los Angeles Book Review, 5-star review
“Timely storytelling at its finest, Joan of the Arcane invites us to consider the truly wild moment we find ourselves in as a species. A fun and provocative read, this book opens unexpected possibilities about our world we may not see coming. To that end, Joan of the Arcane is an essential addition to any reader’s library.”–Danielle Dulsky, author of The Night House and Founder of the Hag School
“Joan of the Arcane is a hypnotic fever dream. Arresting and absurd, it offers a piercing examination of suburban malaise, forced conformity, conspiracy theory rabbit holes, and the dangers of masquerading as someone other than your true self.”–Emily Jane, USA Today best-selling author of On Earth as it Is on Television
“Joan of the Arcane is a must-read for anyone who has ever doubted the veracity of official announcements… . [The] plot will entice anyone who has ever hovered over an absurd title on an internet video and wondered, “Really, could that be true?”–Readers’ Favorite, 5-star review
