"Sleep Donation has a dreamlike beauty while remaining ominous and off-kilter. Parts of it gave me nightmares—and I'm case-hardened."

"A starkly dystopian novella reminiscent of George Saunders in its bleak humor, the directness of its prose."

"with Twilight Zone-like inventiveness...[Russell] creates a fully imagined world with its own rituals and rules, and deftly satirizes the media and governmental responses to the plague of sleeplessness"

"Russell's language...is acrid, luminous, and deft...She will chase down every flicker of ordinary experience and return with descriptions of uncanny aptness"

"An audaciously allegorical novella. . . . As engaging as it is provocative."
