Praise
"Burgess wraps his message about vanity and celebrity-obsessed culture in a nightmarish, unforgettable story."
2/19/2007
"Sara's meditations on fame, identity, masks, and the true nature of beauty will take this a step further than its sensationalistic plotline might seem to allow; in Sara, Burgess has created a character that is strangely unique and yet troublingly familiar."
