Thanks to Publishers Weekly for the kind review of Republic of Dirt. Not only is the review funny in its own right, it ends by calling the book “a joyful, moving return to Woefield.” Can’t ask for more than that!

P.S. If you are addicted to this unbelievably exciting blog and website, please note that it will soon be replaced with an equally unbelievably exciting site. That means we may be offline for a few days. I encourage you to read the New York Times, Harper’s Magazine, the Economist, the Guardian and the Globe and Mail etc. to keep yourself informed about things while we’re down.
