"What can be said about Greer Gilman's extraordinary 'Down the Wall'? Her dreamlike fictions, as impossible to summarize as they are to forget, seethe with protean mythic energies. Written in a language of Shakespearean intensity and raw inventiveness that calls the early fiction of Cormac McCarthy to mind, 'Down the Wall' has a post-apocalyptic feel, a post-everything feel ... yet it also seems like a mysterious new beginning. To call Gilman a difficult writer is an understatement; Gene Wolfe's work is easier to parse. But those who surrender to this wildly original talent will be amply repaid for any confusion."
