“It’s tempting to compare Vagablonde to Joan Didion’s Play It As It Lays...But Dorn’s firecracker of a novel is all her own.” —Alta Journal
"Anna Dorn writes vivid, striking prose that reinterprets pop culture, the particularities of Southern California, and the complex technology of our human brains. An original, hilarious, and spot on debut." —Dana Spiotta, author of STONE ARABIA
“Dorn’s voice slices like a serrated knife through a wacked-out world of contemporary music culture, where glittery dreams go viral and die.” — Publishers Weekly
"Dorn’s narrative is intoxicating, particularly in its depiction of the existential ennui that’s stemmed from our insatiable consumer culture... Dorn may have written the horror novel we deserve." —Kirkus Reviews
"A fantastic novel that feels contemporary in all the right ways. In the world of VAGABLONDE, fame is more important than mental health, good lighting is more important than food, and ‘thriving’ is more important than any mundane obligation. Anna Dorn’s sentences are sharp and addictive, absorbing me completely into this world of music, friendship, and self-interrogation." —Chelsea Hodson, author of TONIGHT I'M SOMEONE ELSE
"A novel about dissociation, VAGABLONDE conveys a surprisingly deep emotional journey. With acerbic wit and a keen eye for sensory detail, Dorn perfectly renders banal tragedies, bleary morning afters, and creative dreams both lost and found." —Catie Disabato, author of THE GHOST NETWORK
