<p>"I could smother the book with adorationâit is aching and maddening, intelligent and wildly sexy. But it would be simpler to say that reading it is like meeting someone new and feeling the world come undone. Here is a book that insists that the desire for fiction, for its mimicry and its mirage, is indistinguishable from the desire for another person." <b>âMerve Emre, <i>The New Yorker</i></b></p>
<p>âWinner of the Prix Medicis, this intense collection of Garretaâs memories of past lovesâwritten under strict Oulipian constraintsâis at times at once tender, bitter, and intimate.â <b>â<i>Literary Hub</i></b></p>
<p>âGarrĂ©ta more or less perfected the post-modern confessional, doing so with a self-awareness that many authors fail to accomplish⊠<i>Not One Day</i> is a casual revelation; a delight.â <b>âSean Redmond, <i>fields Magazine</i></b></p>
<p>âDeep Vellum has brought out one of the best books Iâve read this year, one whose compact nature contains more room inside than might be guessed from its modest exterior. Happily, Anne GarrĂ©taâs ambition is to create books that are not the products of an assembly line.â <b>âJeff Bursey, <i>The Winnipeg Review</i></b></p>
