"Tanzer's freshness and blatant honesty reminds me a lot of Sam Lipsyte." You Can Make Him Like You gets American Book Review'd. And likes it. A lot.

Terrific appreciations to the Matt Baker and American Book Review, yes that American Book Review, really, we know, for their most kind review of You Can Make Him Like You. Many drinks, and hugs, for sure, to Matt and the whole ABR crew when next we meet. And now for some excerpt.

"Like Lipsyte, Tanzer dotes equal love on both his perfectly human narrator Keith, as he does on us, his perfectly human readers."

A quasi-mixed media KGB Bar wrap-up.

We were KGB Bar. We were read. We met the Lori Hettler. We got to see the Michael Paige Glover and Ken Wohlrob. There was the Greg Olear. There is video to prove it. It was goodness. All of it. And much appreciated.

Updated and most self-serving Breakfast With the Author Silverthought Press website awesomeness.

The fine folks at Silverthought Press have updated the website for their Breakfast With the Author video series and have most kindly kicked it off with a quite awesome, and quite humbling, profile of TBWCYL, Inc. spokesperson Ben Tanzer who appeared in Episode One along with long time TBWCYL, Inc. favorite Jason Fisk.

"I ask your indulgence when once again I (truthfully) make the claim that it is his best work yet." My Father's House gets Baby Got Books'd. And likes it. A lot.

Massive Herculian thanks to the always fine Baby Got Books for a most kind review of My Father's House. Please take a look, please enjoy some excerpt, and drinks on us BGB when next we meet.

"You'll know that my reviews usually begin with a disclaimer that I am totally biased, and I may even mention that the work in question is his best book yet. Ben has a new novella called My Father's House . I ask your indulgence when once again I (truthfully) make the claim that it is his best work yet. You'll just need to read it yourself to back my call."
