Publishers Weekly reviews THE GATEPOST
Publishers Weekly is widely regarded as the most influential trade magazine for the book industry, read by publishers, librarians, booksellers, newspaper and magazine editors, and even (ahem!) film industry types. PW reviews have a great deal of influence on which books get noticed, bought, and promoted in the media. Needless to say, I’m on cloud nine to have this new Publisher’s Weekly review of

| A fascinating, ground-breaking, accessible book by one of the top scientists in her field. There are moments when the science gets a little too technical for the lay reader, but most of it is as clear as can be and incredibly surprising and eye-openi ...more | |

| A very interesting and ambitious novel. It kept me engaged, although I must say that the confusion about what was actually going on was, for me at least, never entirely resolved. It’s a challenging book to read, and I can only imagine how challenging ...more | |

| I enjoyed this apocalyptic cli-fi thriller, which is also a kind of gothic romance. There were no slow parts for me, though I did often find myself thrown out of the story because of the strange and often somewhat unnatural-feeling first person prese ...more | |

| I read this book in advance of an upcoming trip to Peru and I must say, it blew me away. I only intended to read the first few chapters but quickly became swept up in the narrative, read it cover to cover, and put it down with a sense of sadness and ...more | |

“...[O]n virtually every page, the same unmistakable message: Tread lightly. Think ahead. Respect the reality that despite your intelligence you are inseparable from the great web of life, a species to whom much has been given and of whom much is expected in return, namely a firm commitment to stewardship as opposed to thoughtless exploitation.”

“Read good writing, and don’t live in the present. Live in the deep past, with the language of the Koran or the Mabinogion or Mother Goose or Dickens or Dickinson or Baldwin or whatever speaks to you deeply. Literature is not high school and it’s not actually necessary to know what everyone around you is wearing, in terms of style, and being influenced by people who are being published in this very moment is going to make you look just like them, which is probably not a good long-term goal for being yourself or making a meaningful contribution. At any point in history there is a great tide of writers of similar tone, they wash in, they wash out, the strange starfish stay behind, and the conches.”

“All good books are alike in that they are truer than if they had really happened and after you are finished reading one you will feel that all that happened to you and afterwards it all belongs to you: the good and the bad, the ecstasy, the remorse and sorrow, the people and the places and how the weather was. If you can get so that you can give that to people, then you are a writer.”

“After nourishment, shelter and companionship, stories are the thing we need most in the world.”

“Sit in a room and read--and read and read. And read the right books by the right people. Your mind is brought onto that level, and you have a nice, mild, slow-burning rapture all the time.”
