Reviews

[Mike · Rating 3 out of 5]

"Frivolous" isn't right, but there's certainly a send of frivolity. None of these writers are going to be in the New Yorker, but there's a joy and simplicity here that I think speaks to the value of creation as part of everyday life rather than the exclusive purview of professionals.
