| Before Elvis There Was Nothing
Reviews
Connect Savannah :
"The bizarre distortions of [ Before Elvis There Was Nothing ] make this novel resonate with truth and authenticity about universal subjects like fear, family, and personal identity."
Kirkus Reviews :
"After tackling wombs and walruses in her previous fiction, whimsical satirist Foos uses her fifth outing to showcase a human horn and an all-too-human King."
Alison McGhee :
"Only in the surreal world of Laurie Foos can a beautiful woman who is sprouting a horn, an agoraphobe longing for her lost parents, women obsessed with hair extensions, and Elvis Presley come together in such a way that we find ourselves knowing something about the human spirit that we didn't know before. Foos's ability to tap into pop obsessions and weave something both hilarious and transcendent is nothing short of amazing."
Fay Weldon :
"A wonderful mixture of insecurity and insanity. Every line of Laurie Foos's new novel is suffused with intelligence, wit, and daring. Exhilarating!"
