Mitgang, Herbert (25 november 1978). ”Grass on Men, Women, and 'Flounder'” (på engelska). The New York Times. http://www.nytimes.com/books/99/12/19/specials/grass-interview78.html. Läst 16 mars 2013. ”The Flounder is about women and food, but it is also about women and war, including what women have done against war — unfortunately, mostly silence." "Most women who read the book all the way through like it. Those in the women's liberation movement who say there is no difference between men and women don't like it. I like the difference- I hate those who don't like the difference between men and women.”
