His shorter works can be found in Swink, Massachusetts Review, Cut...more |

Vicki's
review of The 351 Books of Irma Acuri: A Novel:
"First novels are a bit of an obsession of mine. I love raw talent finding itself on the page. But, it is rare that a first novel leave my perceptions altered in some way. David Bajo has written a strange and wonderful debut novel that haunts you from...more " | |||

Jason's
review of Unlucky Lucky Days (American Readers Series):
"I don't pretend to understand each of these little stories, but those that I do I really enjoyed. I hope my mild confusion was merely a result of an inadvertent line-skip while reading on the light rail, rather than some defect on the author's part. ...more " | |||

Wait, is Radiant Days a paperback original? All this time, I was waiting for the paperback to come out...
Thanks for the friendship, and for the interest in my novel. If you end up checking it out, I hope you enjoy it. And I'd love to hear what you think.
If you don't mind sharing--I'm curious, what's your favorite novel of all time (if you have one)?
Here’s wishing you a fantastic day filled with fabulous fates, fanciful festivities, and frolicking phantom footstools.

Hey Michael! I'm not gonna read many books anymore. Why should I? Your reviews are so good that from now on I'll just read your reviews.
Two new reviews of Radiant Days came out this week.
Jason Pettus over at the Chicago Center for Literature and Photography says the book is "subversively funny" and "infinitely sad".
Full Review:

And a feature on this month's Hipster Book Club.
"Radiant Days is a brilliant, archly funny, and painfully accurate book..."

Hello, Michael. Thanks for the add and thanks for the words of encouragement. Hope your book is doing well. I'll have to check it out soon.
Yes, that's the Boise library. To my knowledge, they are the only city in the country that is so excited about having a library that they need an exclamation point.
Thanks for the add.
