Eric Schnall’s I Make Envy on Your Disco on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen

Reviews

“At their best, these stories illuminate the prosaic lives of their characters, exposing both anguish and hope. Generally written with gentle clarity, though sometimes veering into enigmatic lyricism, Bellinger’s prose is honest and unflinching.”

Thanks for This Riot

Review in Kirkus Reviews:

“In all of Bassett’s narratives, there is a tension between knowing someone versus being known, seeing versus understanding. Though characters may make attempts at community building or closeness, there remain the persistent, prevalent internal riots that make people strangers to others—and to themselves.”

Thinking about Good and Evil

Review in Word and Way:

“So, here we have a rather comprehensive look at how our Jewish friends and neighbors have wrestled with this principle of justice and goodness even as they and we struggle with the reality of evil in the world. Thus, Rabbi Allen’s Thinking about Good and Evil is a most fruitful resource to be consulted whether one is Jewish or not.”

World of Yesterday

Review in The Economist:

“No one captures the sweep of history like Stefan Zweig. A popular writer in the early 20th century, he penned vivid biographies, of Magellan and Marie-Antoinette among others, which give the impression he had long been friends with them.”

Twenty Miles of Fence

Mention in Rocky Mountain Review:

“West’s true grit is both literal and literary. Grit is dirt, and cowboys roll in it when birthing breech calves, wrestling steers to the ground for branding, and falling off a bucking horse.”

On the Other Shore

Review in Social History:

“Masterfully sourced images complement the text beautifully, and the accompanying prose is easy to follow. On the Other Shore will appeal to graduate students and scholars alike.”
