Reviews
"[Sister Golden Hair] absolutely dazzled me . . . a searingly accurate portrait of a time and a way of thinking - a moment in American history when gleeful abandon had decayed into regular old abandon, and when new cultural freedoms suddenly seemed more dangerous than intoxicating." - Elizabeth Gilbert, author of Eat, Pray, Love and The Signature of All Things, "[Sister Golden Hair] absolutely dazzled me . . . a searingly accurate portrait of a time and a way of thinking -- a moment in American history when gleeful abandon had decayed into regular old abandon, and when new cultural freedoms suddenly seemed more dangerous than intoxicating." -- Elizabeth Gilbert, author of Eat, Pray, Love and The Signature of All Things, Praise for Sister Golden Hair Steinke's narrator, Jesse, is both unforgettably unique and a quintessential adolescent girl . . . Jesse's naive admiration . . . and her chameleonlike reaction to whomever she attaches herself to create a painfully true account of a tough phase of life made more so by the disillusions of the time. But as Jesse observes these characters' hopelessness, she herself becomes more defined—perhaps more the guitarist than the girl in the song." — Booklist "Here''s a novel that gathers stunning momentum with every tiny perfect detail, and tracks the feelings of a girl and the mood of a country with the surest touch. With Sister Golden Hair , Darcey Steinke proves yet again that she is one of our most stylish and intense novelists." —Sam Lipsyte, author of The Fun Parts [ Sister Golden Hair ] absolutely dazzled me . . . a searingly accurate portrait of a time and a way of thinking —a moment in American history when gleeful abandon had decayed into regular old abandon, and when new cultural freedoms suddenly seemed more dangerous than intoxicating." —Elizabeth Gilbert, author of Eat, Pray, Love and The Signature of All Things " Sister Golden Hair is an indelible portrait of a place and time; an argument for adolescent girlhood as a fulcrum for the human predicament; and sentence by sentence, a brilliant piece of writing suffused with all Steinke''s characteristic wit, darkness, and profundity . As always, Steinke shifts the terms: it isn''t our capacity to be saved or go down in flames that''s most at stake, but our willingess to hold the dangerous, bleak, exciting, full mess of life up to the light, to behold and bear its mottled grace. Steinke has become a master at this fearless beholding, and I trust her deeply, will go wherever she wants to take me." —Maggie Nelson, author of Bluets " A daring and arrestingly beautiful novel about what it's like to walk through the world, wide awake, taking in radiant and terrifying messages about everything around you." —Jenny Offill, author of Dept. of Speculation Praise for Darcey Steinke I became riveted by Steinke''s tone, a steady, lovely, hallowed, patient, things-in-themselves hum…[ Easter Everywhere is ] a delicately wrought little volume…This is a beautiful book." — New York Times Book Review If the novel had an essence (eau de roman), a pithy core, Darcey Steinke would be its genius." — Los Angeles Times "Steinke writes some beautifully mystical descriptions of sexual encounters, and the conjunction of sex and the spirit, bodies and souls, is fascinating." — Washington Post "Steinke''s idiosyncratic, unsentimental fourth novel continues her examination of sexual and religious obsession...all the characters struggle to establish a relationship with God through contact with those around them, but Steinke''s prose repeatedly hints at the divine in tangible things."--the New Yorker "Erotic . . . beautifully crafted prose."— Time magazine "Few authors understand America''s darkest fears and obsessions like Darcey Steinke."—the Village Voice Easter Everywhere is an excellent account of a writer going head-to-head with the divine and finding some inner quiet—even in the darkest corners of her imagination." — Time Out New York Darcey Steinke certainly knows her way around characters and plot...it's a joy to see her inner life finally exposed." — San Francisco Chronicle Steinke unflinchingly recounts years of disillusionment in her stumble back toward faith." — Entertainment Weekly She drew this atheist reader deep into her devotional tale, seducing with prose that is rich and filling, with images that are startling and deep." — Los Angeles Times Book Review, Praise for Sister Golden Hair [ Sister Golden Hair ] absolutely dazzled me . . . a searingly accurate portrait of a time and a way of thinking —a moment in American history when gleeful abandon had decayed into regular old abandon, and when new cultural freedoms suddenly seemed more dangerous than intoxicating." —Elizabeth Gilbert, author of Eat, Pray, Love and The Signature of All Things " Sister Golden Hair is an indelible portrait of a place and time; an argument for adolescent girlhood as a fulcrum for the human predicament; and sentence by sentence, a brilliant piece of writing suffused with all Steinke's characteristic wit, darkness, and profundity .

Synopsis
It's the summer of 1972 and girlhood has never been more fraught, but Darcy Steinke captures all of it with an intimate, startling grace., It's the summer of 1972 and girlhood has never been more fraught, but Darcy Steinke captures all of it with an intimate, startling grace. When Jesse's family moves to Roanoke, Virginia, in the summer of 1972, she's twelve years old and already mindful of the schism between innocence and femininity, the gap between childhood and the world of adults. Her father, a former pastor, cycles through spiritual disciplines as quickly as he cycles through jobs. Her mother is chronically dissatisfied, glumly fetishizing the Kennedys and anyone else who symbolizes status and wealth. The residents of the Bent Tree housing development may not seem like beacons of the secret knowledge that Jesse is looking for, but they're all she's got. Her neighbor tans on the front lawn and tells tales of her married lover; her classmate playacts being a Bunny at Hugh Hefner's Playboy Club; the boy she's interested in fantasizes about moving to Hollywood and befriending David Soul.In the midst of her half-understanding, Jesse finds space to set up her room with her secret treasures: a Venus Flytrap, her Cher 45s, and The Big Book of Burial Rites. But outside await new sexual mores, muddled social customs, and confused spirituality. It's a terrifying time--in the shadow of Manson and the hangover from the idealistic sixties--when alienation overtakes liberation. Girlhood has never been more fraught than in Jesse's telling, its expectations threatening to turn at any point into delicious risk, or real danger. Darcey Steinke captures all of this with an intimate, startling grace., When Jesse's family moves to Roanoke, Virginia, in the summer of 1972, she's twelve years old and already mindful of the schism between innocence and femininity, the gap between childhood and the world of adults.
