"[A] brilliant mindbender...Navarro's exceptional novel defies easy interpretation, culminating in a breathtaking and surprising ending. The author is especially skilled at crafting the details and peculiarities of her two characters' psyches, and the result is a singular novel of art, friendship, and lunacy." –Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"A novel of economic and psychological precarity and an exploration of the tension between the boundedness of art and the formlessness of life, A Working Woman is as charming as a fable and as frenzied as a fever dream." –Lit Hub
Thoroughly gripping. –World Literature Today
"From the outrageous to the mundane, Navarro offers a good deal of good observation and invention." –Complete Review
"This author's literary talent is a natural gift...the subtle, almost hidden, true avant-gardist of her generation." –Enrique Vila-Matas, author of Mac's Problem
"Elvira Navarro is an enormously gifted and disturbing young writer with an unusual eye for the bizarre; she captures personal fragility with deceptively detached prose that stays with us like a scarring incision." –Lina Meruane, author of Seeing Red
"A Working Woman invents a language and a structure to portray the outskirts of the city and job insecurity like no novel has done before. Elvira Navarro is one of the most intelligent and daring writers in the Spanish-speaking world." –Daniel Saldaña París, author of Among Strange Victims
"Navarro is one of Spanish literature's most interesting contemporary writers....A Working Woman represents a major leap forward in her work." –Perfil
