reception

Lutz Bunk writes in his review of Deutschlandfunk -Kultur: Cindy Dyson is an excellent observer of American society: in the chapter "takes a minute" in which she describes a father who has become an alcoholic, her language achieves the quality and the literary depth by John Steinbeck. And in the passages of the female killer saga, her language becomes completely timeless, simple, very archaic and surreal. “Unalaska” is a successful balancing act between scene language and Shakespeare's “Macbeth”.
