Though much of Liksom's work is unsavoury, her prose is tersely lyrical, often caustically funny, and her message poignant.

Insight Books

Reading this collection by post-feminist, post-modernist, post-punk Rosa Liksom is like being spat at: unpleasant, but shockingly memorable . . . Short, sharp shocks for modern life.

Guardian

Ever felt like sticking a knife in somebody? Rosa Liksom does it all the time. OK, only in prose, but tearless prose.
