“The Green Hand and Other Stories”

By Forrest Sayrs | Jan 22, 2018 | Reviews

This review is a little outside my area of expertise. But I don’t think that makes it a less useful endeavor. I tend to take the view that if the uninitiated can appreciate something in an extreme niche, then there is something fundamentally worthwhile about the work.

By John Schaidler | Jan 22, 2018 | Reviews

In retrospect, some of the stylistic and thematic seeds of Matthew Rosenberg’s critically acclaimed series “4 Kids Walk into a Bank” were sown in “We Can Never Go Home.” But don’t read it for that. “We Can Never Go Home” is a ballsy, thoughtful, well constructed look at the simultaneously liberating and destructive power of […]

“The Further Adventures of Nick Wilson” #1

By John Schaidler | Jan 19, 2018 | Reviews

“The Further Adventures of Nick Wilson” is built on a solid premise, but after a lackluster debut that doesn’t reveal a whole lot more than what we already know from the solicit, where the series goes after this is anybody’s guess.
