"Gilchrist possess a distinctive voice, and blends a sense of poignancy with an often outrageously Gothic humor."—New York Times Book Review
"Witty, concise, and wonderfully varied."—Literary Review
"Women's fiction par excellence."—Harper's Magazine
"A remarkable collection of tough, funny, surprising short stories."—Washington Post
"I read all fourteen in one sitting and was only sorry to be finished. They are 'traditional' stories, full of real people to whom things really happen. . . . Reading In the Land of Dreamy Dreams reminds me that the short story at its best can be the most satisfying of genres. . . . [Gilchrist] takes us down a luminous and precarious path. . . . Gilchrist may serve as prime evidence for the optimists among us who continue to believe that few truly gifted writers remain unknown forever. And Gilchrist is the real thing alright. In fact, it's difficult to review a first book as good as this without resorting to every known superlative cliché—there are, after all, just so many ways to say 'auspicious debut.'"—Washington Post Book World
"Her stories are perceptive, her manner stylish and idiomatic—a rare and potent combination."—London Times Literary Supplement
"Her prose is quick-witted and urbane and as gossipy as Vanity Fair. Quite simply there is no Southern writer quite like her."—Raleigh News & Observer
