Media reviews

"If a Colette were possible in this country, that is presumably what Maude Hutchins would like to be. The sensuous is her window on the world; sexuality is the sea for all her voyages..." -New York Times

"Maude Hutchins writes like a lascivious I. Compton-Burnett." —Time

"The novels of Hutchins [are] witty and intelligent." -Studies in the 20th Century

"Victorine..established her reputation as a richly ironical imagist." -Time

"Maude Hutchins has a forcefully genuine talent...Like Iris Murdoch, she is among the most imaginatively creative women writing in English." -Terry Southern, New York Times
