Finalist for the American Library Association GLBT Fiction Award
The gorgeously multifaceted underbelly of the American Dream
“Guess deftly performs the parlor trick of handling several different voices, switching fluidly from perceptive Caddie to the clipped cadence of masculine Jo to jaded Selena. This Alice Doesn’t Live Here Anymore for the 1990s celebrates the differences between people without fudging the loneliness that these entail. Guess’s attempts to put a Midwestern spin on magical realism are blessedly rare: in a book loaded with so many natural surprises, any supernatural extras would be gilt on the lily.” – Publishers Weekly

“The Adventures of Mona Pinsky is crowded with authentic and singular characters – living and otherwise. I liked Uncle Gabe and the world of mythic spirits that fit so comfortably into Mona’s everyday world. Mona is an especially engaging character who has carved out, with her heroic reluctance and naïve flamboyance, a niche in my memory where she will always abide.” – M.K. Wren
