RaveThe AtlanticA striking, darkly comic portrait of a mind narrowed by disappointment ... ... Rosenberg isn’t only upending the rules of autofiction; he’s also pushing back against prevailing trends in trans writing ... As difficult as its main character is, Night Night Fawn succeeds thanks to her compelling, singular voice. Barbara isn’t a caricature but a deeply human portrait ... A pleasure to read ... For Barbara, impending death does not inspire a moral awakening, and Rosenberg never gives the reader an origin story that would excuse her cruelty. She is simply not a nice person ... The greatest expression of care comes at the very last moment, in a final, glorious moment of surreal grace at the end of the novel.
