Greetings from San Francisco! Today, I was thrilled and grateful to discover that Walter Cummins reviewed THE EXPERT OF SUBTLE REVISIONS for The California Review of Books:
“Menger-Anderson’s success for readers, beyond her strengths in creating people and realities, depends on winning over their credulity to accept varying identities, the musical essence of human lives, and the doubling patterns of human existence. The richness of her imagination contributes to our acceptance her sometimes wild premises.”
Many thanks also to McIntyres Books, where the book was a staff pick, and to Hosts Margaret Kelly and Katie Roarty of Women are Reading, who discussed The Expert of Subtle Revisions on their engaging book club podcast:
“The whole idea of this book I find very fascinating, because it very clearly is the author looking to make a fictionalized version of something that really happened in real life, and also something that’s really close to her family.”
Thanks also to Epilogue Book Cafe for selecting Expert as a favorite academic read and to Book Culture, for choosing the novel for a book discussion!
That’s the news on the novel. I’m currently reading Cormac McCarthy’s The Passenger, and am looking forward to reading Katrina Denza’s Burner And Other Stories after that. I hope your reading adventures are also good! Read more about what people are saying about book, or contact me if you’d like me to come to your book store, book fair, book club or other event!
