Reviews
“Christa writes clearly, concisely and unequivocally … describes an intimacy and an idyll… [that] startles not only men, but women as well.” —EMMA Magazine
“Christa writes for women and against femininity. Her approach is blunt and unapologetic.… As she sees it, there is a war going on and women’s lives are at stake.… In such times, she insists, feminism must be uncompromising and tough, not gentle and sentimental…. Her texts have the simplicity of a weapon directed straight at its target, a tool honed to precision, a language in which all ballast has been cast off.” —Angelika Bammer
