think Winter's Bone with less crime and more lyricism.. Fridlund is a fine writer and her work is cut through with moments of sparse beauty.
one of the most intelligent and poetic novels of the year

Fridlund is a fine writer and her work is cut through with moments of sparse beauty.
Haunting and compelling
Reminds me of Curtis Sittenfeld...so original, a beautiful literary work" (Viv Groskop); "A writer with a great future ahead of her...her prose is exquisite" (Louise Doughty)
The chilling plot is only part of the mesmerising power of this assured and striking debut from this American novelist
Reminds me of Curtis Sittenfeld...so original, a beautiful literary work
So delicately calibrated and precisely beautiful that one might not immediately sense the sledgehammer of pain building inside this book. And I mean that in the best way. What powerful tension and depth
As exquisite a first novel as I've ever encountered. Poetic, complex and utterly, heartbreakingly beautiful
First thing you see is the bracing intelligence of the book's young narrator - no big-eyed sentiments for Linda, raised amid blighted ideals in the ceaseless winters and vast swamps of northern Minnesota. So observant is Linda that you trust her instantly, but it's her own search for trust, for connection even at enormous cost, that will hold you to the final hour. Emily Fridlund's language is generous and precise, her story grief-tempered and forcefully moving. History of Wolves is the loneliest thing I've read in years, and it's gorgeous. These are haunted pages
A writer with a great future ahead of her...her prose is exquisite
The chilling plot is only part of the mesmerising power of this assured and striking debut from this American novelist
Life offers "Linda" two simultaneous chances to fit in, although both, as we know from the start, go terribly wrong
Every page in this first novel echoes with grief and loneliness, yet there's a great beauty to it.
Emily Fridlund grew up in Minnesota. She holds an MFA from Washington University in St. Louis and a PhD in Literature and Creative Writing from the University of Southern California. Her collection of stories, CATAPULT, was chosen by Ben Marcus for the Mary McCarthy Prize. She lives in the Finger Lakes region of New York. HISTORY OF WOLVES is her first novel.
