Kenneth Radu finds "a poignant and unexpectedly witty narrative about a woman trying to free herself from dark horror."
The assumption in “One Night at the Risiera” that the Risiera killed mainly Jews and the silence about the other victims may just be examples of Morris’s fabled carelessness and the ignorance of her reviewers, in homage to her lyrical cluelessness.
