This fascinating, off-kilter novel about a female serial killer is an unexpectedly thrilling read -- Karl Ove Knausgaard

An extraordinary, visceral fictionalisation of Belle's life... Belle's story is not one of a police procedural or thriller... The prose flies and flays, is porous and illuminating - Irish Times

An extraordinary portrait of the inner turmoil and ecstasy of the woman widely regarded to be America's first female serial killer - Marie Claire

My Men, superbly translated by Damion Searls, is a portrait of a woman trying, and failing, to escape her punishing trajectory. Bit by bit, day by day, we see, and come to understand, what has made Belle Gunness a killer - New York Times

A stylistic tour de force, a third-person account of Bella Gunness's grotesque odyssey as perceived through her own sensorium... A gifted writer - Wall Street Journal

Her spiritual yearning and profane desires are captured in dynamic and subversive prose as Kielland explores how Belle's homicidal tendencies derive from a perverted sense of love. It's an impressive feat of historical imagination - Publishers Weekly

Lyrical... Despite the subject matter, this novel is not your typical thriller. The language, in Searls' translation, is dense, poetic, and deeply figurative - Kirkus Reviews

One of the best young authors we have... Kielland makes Brynhild tragic rather than cold-blooded - Morgenbladet

Gripping, unique, and amazingly well-written - Vårt Land

Unusual and extraordinary - Klassekampen

What this rich and poignant novel does is try to get as deep as possible to the core of a person who struggles with what she is doing to the world and to herself. My Men is a literary achievement of the highest order - De Standaard, 5 stars
