Elizabeth Eslami has written an extraordinarily generous review of Walking With Zeke.
Just the one line about Ed Abbey, Rick Bass and Barry Lopez will I think keep me grinning for the next week or so:
He’s a less prickly Ed Abbey, a tougher Rick Bass, a Barry Lopez with humor.
I am also a Mary Austin with back hair, but Liz wisely left that part out.
The only problem is, I’m currently reading Liz’s Bone Worship and now any review I write, which will necessarily be raving because I’m enjoying it so much, may seem to the more cynical like it’s some sort of quid pro quo. Oh, well, fuck ‘em if they can’t handle sincere admiration.
Gratz, man! Get thee to a publisher, stat.
Wanted to leave a comment on Elizabeth’s lovely review, but the Red Room takes three days to approve memberships. Guess that assures a very high level of comments!
Very nice review. My copy arrived yesterday and I’m very much looking forward to it.
