I’m writing this as the large hand creeps toward 1am in the morning, UK time. My head is clouded by Angostura Bitter, Tate & Lyle sugar, cream soda and Red Stag by Jim Beam. From what I remember of the night proceeding this moment is a fragmented account of a film starring Justin Timberlake where time is a commodity, but acting isn’t. There was, as my tongue will contest, mature cheddar che... read more »

Craig Wallwork liked Paul's review of I Didn't Mean to Be Kevin: " A bit of an aside to start: here's an indie publisher doing right by the reader. The purpose of an indie publisher should be to publish smart books that push buttons and boundaries that would otherwise be ignored by the 50-shades-of-grey and Tom-C... " Read more of this review »

Craig Wallwork liked Nicholas Karpuk's review of Ash Cinema: " Edward Rathke walks a tightrope through most of Ash Cinema. I kept waiting for the pacing to collapse, for the stylized writing style to become masturbatory rather than merely indulgent. It was a waveform that seemed perpetually about to collapse....

Craig Wallwork liked Michael Gonzalez's review of Praise of Motherhood: " It took me a while to figure out why this book felt a bit familiar and different all at once, and then it hit me: Holden Caulfield (stay with me here...). I hated Catcher in the Rye, and the reason I hated it had everything to do with the kid at t... " Read more of this review »

Craig Wallwork gave to: Suddenly a Knock at the Door by Etgar Keret read in May, 2012	My rating:
I've read all of Keret's books and found each to hold within their pages worlds and characters beyond measure. And Suddenly, a Knock on the Door is the same. But sadly, the ratio of great stories that pull us into strange incidents unbound by realit...more

Craig Wallwork liked Michael Gonzalez's review of Quintessence of Dust: " You know writing is singular and fantastic when you have to use the author's name to describe the work. This collection is "Wallworkian". Yeah, I said it. Nobody else could write these stories. Nobody else would dare to. You're stepping unfiltered... " Read more of this review »

Craig Wallwork gave to: All My Friends Are Superheroes by Andrew Kaufman (Goodreads Author)	My rating:
This is my second book by Kaufman in the past three days. To say I’m binging on this guy is an understatement. Rarely do I do this. I can count the amount of authors on three fingers that had me want to read their whole back catalogue consecutively,...more

Craig Wallwork gave to: The Tiny Wife by Andrew Kaufman (Goodreads Author)	My rating:
Read this in one sitting, which is how it must be read. Lovely, sweet story that deserves your full attention. It would have gotten five stars had the ending not been so abrupt, and maybe over time I'll learn to appreciate that more, that the ending...more
