Hangsaman - "is alive, complex and clear...The characters are true to themselves (and to life) with every breath they draw; the situations are true to the characters and, in turn, subtly affect and alter them." - New York Times

Hangsaman - "confirms the belief that Miss Jackson is an exceptional writer." - London Times

Hangsamam - "No one can question the author's great ability to do the kind of thing she wants to do. This is as disturbing a story as the shorter LOTTERY was, and in exactly the same way." - San Francisco Chronicle
