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
  • 3.
    "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

    A Series to Attend

    I believe the Happy Endings Reading Series, hosted by the lovely and talented Amanda Stern, has been mentioned here at the EWN before.  This time it's both a celebration and, well, a different celebration.  The Happy Endings Reading Series is soon to be moving - after this fall season, the series is moving to Joe's Pub in January (a necessarily larger venue!).

    I've had the extreme pleasure of attending exactly one HERS event and it was fantastic.  Looking over this line-up, it's one of the rare times I wish I lived elsewhere for a period of time.  That premiere reading looks astounding, and readers here know I'd love to be at the October 22 reading with Keith Lee Morris and Deb Olin Unferth as I've raved about their work here before.  Not to mention Porter Shreve, and last of all, but certainly not even close to least, Allison Amend!!!!! (Who, by the way, just might have the nicest looking website welcome page of any author right now).

    So, the final season goes as such:

    You were right, Keith Lee Morris is great. I read The Greyhound God and his latest piece in A Public Space, and I'm looking forward to The Dart League King.
