After the smashing success of Wordstock 2011, it’s hard not to feel inspired by the power of the written word.

Lately we’ve been getting double and sometimes triple the amount ...Read more.
More Review Buzz for The Chronology of Water
Mid-April I posted a slew of reviews (that has a nice ring to it, doesn’t it?) for Lidia Yuknavitch’s hot-off-the-presses The Chronology of Water.
