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

    Essay from Yannick Murphy

    I've only posted slightly about Yannick Murphy's most recent novel, Signed, Mata Hari.  I've not reviewed it yet, but can say that I absolutely loved it, and that hardcover is truly a lovely book.

    Yannick Murphy has written an essay that is, kind of, about the writing of this wonderful novel.  The smart folks at Powells appear to have requested she do so.  It's well worth your time to read both the novel, and the essay.  There even appears to be a reference at the beginning of the essay to the title story of Yannick's forthcoming collection.

    (Thanks to both Peter and Judy for pointing this out to me)
