The sheer chaos of her narrative -- in which the numerous infidelities, betrayals and deceits that constitute the story's various threads are confusingly entwined in the narrator's mind -- is the source of the novel's overwhelming bleakness, more so than the fate of any particular character. (...) Detached from family, loved ones, even the world around her, Muller's narrator teeters on the edge of madness. Her tale, though haunting, offers the reader little insight. Muller's psychological acuity makes The Appointment both more and less than a fable" - Jason M. Baskin, Chicago Review (Winter/2002)
