RaveThe Guardian (UK)A sharp portrait of cruelty and inheritance ... Citchens is astute in her interrogation of the ways religious performance can become a theatre for power ... Despite its often macabre subject matter, Dominion is gloriously, deliciously funny. Citchens’s prose crackles with southern-black humour and idiom ... Citchens has written a bruising, funny and deeply intelligent novel about the ways women’s lives are warped by the whims and cruelty of men, and about what becomes possible when they finally begin to imagine lives larger than those who diminish them.
Judith Butler
MixedThe Evening Standard (UK)Butler’s argument...is a compelling one for those already inclined towards those views ... I was hoping Butler might further interrogate the gender critical movement, as well as debunking its inconsistencies ... At times, Butler’s writing is frustratingly opaque ... So I do wonder at whom the book is aimed. But it is refreshing to see such a tribal issue interrogated with thoughtful research, as opposed to vicious fearmongering.
