“Beautiful Nightmare.” There hasn’t yet been a more satisfying description of The Pattern Scars than this—which is appropriate, as this particular description appears in the first “official” review of the book, in the Huffington Post. It’s a wonderful review—the kind that makes me feel giddy and solemn at the same time. Ilana Teitelbaum’s critique is so eloquent, so full of measured (and even, to me, surprising) insights, that all I can do is pass you directly to her.
