The New York Times

In the opening paragraph of a review for The New York Times (of Jean Thompson’s The Witch: And Other Tales Retold), author and critic Laura Miller refers to Kate’s body of work in a beautiful context: “The practice of retelling fairy tales in the form of literary fiction is, if not quite hallowed, certainly established. The great Angela Carter’s revelatory 1979 story collection, The Bloody Chamber — a brocaded work of heady sensuality, intelligence and violence — remains the benchmark, but Kate Bernheimer’s Fairy Tale Review and the several excellent Bernheimer-edited anthologies spun off from it carry the standard forward.” You can read Miller’s review here.
