My Review of The Warlow Experiment by Alix Nathan up at Book and Film Globe!!!

The best thing that can happen when I'm reading a novel is to be reminded of reading experiences from my formative years, back when I was learning to love books. This happened while reading The Warlow Experiment, my review of which just popped up at Book and Film Globe. Joyce, Dickens, and Austen are all in there to some degree. Not bad company.

Check out the review!

My Review of Summerlings by Lisa Howorth up at Book and Film Globe!!!

I really liked writing this review for Neal Pollack and Book and Film Globe. Do you know why? Because I knew at least one person would get the joke of the review title.

My Review of Destroy All Monsters up at The Believer!!!

I've been reading the music issue of The Believer for years, always hoping I might someday find my work there. 

The day has arrived.

This past week, my review of the rock novel Destroy All Monsters by Jeff Jackson appeared in the magazine. Jackson's work combines the rock novel form with the dystopia, and I couldn't get past the idea that his dark vision for a potential rock music future was somehow tied to our inability to cut the cord.

Feel free to take a look at this short review, and be prepared to scroll down to find it.

My Review of THE NICKEL BOYS by Colson Whitehead up at Los Angeles Review of Books!!!

I'm lucky to have been granted the chance to review Colson Whitehead's latest novel THE NICKEL BOYS for Los Angeles Review of Books. A hint at what's inside:

"Whitehead creates individual portraits that are all the more evocative for their singularity. His focus allows us to fill in the rest of the world with our imaginations. Any real expansion happens one soul at a time." 

Come check it out.
