Reviews for Are You Happy?


"There is not much plot in "Are You Happy?" but it is abundant in the pleasures of memoir -- the things described therein are remembered as intricately, as ruthlessly, as possible. The memories here are artifacts brought back from Gordon's personal archealogy, and they shine like the marvelous things they are." -- Elizabeth McCracken, New York Times Book Review

"Dazzling in its cool, clear-eyed, unsentimental vision."  - Boston Globe

"Even today Gordon's memories remain intact, as if her mind were wholly engaged in the "lifelong project of remembering it." In remembering Williamstown, Gordon't prose beckons like a friendly open door, inviting us to share in the radiant spaces of her childhood."  - Houston Chronicle
