Praise for Everyone Knows Your Mother Is a Witch Galchen is an inventor and fabulist of the highest order: Her narratives are rigorous, antic creations that explore deceit, misinformation, identity, and the nature of knowledge. Her latest puzzle box of a novel is a surrealist horror story set in the 17th century . . . the story is winding and hallucinatory, full of poison, gossip, and astral musings. Drawing partly from historical documents, the world Galchen creates feels more than just real. It feels haunted. Kevin Lozano, Vulture Galchen strikes the perfect balance between historical accuracy and modern humor to render Katharina vividly a strong-willed, big-hearted healer and mother . . . It’s at once an illuminating account of history and a timely, provocative study of weaponized morality, group hysteria, and the villainization of powerful women.
