Nice Things Said Re: EWN

  • "Dan Wickett is serious about a good read. But the EWN email list doesn't just deliver his sure-footed reviews; it also brings you news and connections to other writers. Sign up now - he understands what readers want to know about books." Quinn Dalton, author, Bulletproof Girl

    "Mr. Wickett is that rarely heard from but best of all possible reviewers - the dedicated and knowledgeable fan. He writes clean-cutting and fresh reviews that represent a sensibility unspoiled by over-exposure to the biz of books, but deeply in love with them." Daniel Woodrell, author, Winter's Bone

    "Dan Wickett is a reader's best friend. Not only does he read and trenchantly review new work, but he looks back to books that deserve ongoing readership. I've lost track of the number of times he's led me to boks that I overlooked (or never knew about), and that were a delight. There aren't many reviewers I will let shape my library, but Dan Wickett is one." Erin McGraw, author, The Baby Tree

    Source of Lit - A Public Space

    Issue 2 of A Public Space has hit my mailbox and the first thing I did was rush to read the new essay by Ander Monson - I can't wait until his award winning collection of essays comes out from Graywolf Press next year.  This one, Stop, was excellent, an elegy for telegram and starflight.

    There's fiction by David Mitchell, Acknowledgements, which reminded me quite a bit of the latest LBC Read This! selection, Michael Martone by Michael Martone.  Very well done, and damn funny.

    The issue also has a section focusing on Russia and a really elegant piece from Chris Sorrentino about taking his father's advice.
