WHY NICOLE KRAUSS IS CHARACTER APPROVED


It has been said that a good book has no ending. By this standard, and many others, Nicole Krauss's novels should be considered great. The characters she creates, and the emotional journeys we experience with them, live on in the reader's imagination long after the last page is turned. Named by The New Yorker as one of the 20 best writers under 40, as well as receiving international acclaim and numerous awards, Krauss has emerged as one of the most intriguing authors of the last decade. Her most recent novel, Great House, was a finalist for the National Book Award, and critics hailed the work as "exquisite," "masterful," "beautiful" and "brave." For her stunning ability and her incredible range and versatility, we would like to add two words of our own—Character Approved.
