The Dissident: A Novel by Nell Freudenberger Reviewed by Anna Godbersen
Esquire
"Just to get it out of the way, Nell Freudenberger, whose first book was a collection called Lucky Girls, is one of those young authors who get accused of being hot and overpaid (for a writer, that is), which sound suspiciously like sins we'd all like to be guilty of. But unlike many a hot, young, writerly thing, her work is largely devoid of the clevers; such is the evidence, anyway, from her impressive debut novel The Dissident." Read the entire Esquire review.
