Now, onto Inappropriate Press.
The Daily Beast picked HTBI as one of the week’s hot reads, and quotes one of my student-journalists in the process. She was, deservedly, excited.
Claire Shefchik reviews HTBI at literary blog called Vol 1 Brooklyn. Just when I think she doesn’t like it, she kinda does. Either way, it’s a smart review, well-written. Safe to say she didn’t like the Terry Gross-Gene Simmons piece, excerpted here. For the record: It hurt the most when the reviewer didn’t like my journalism-y pieces.
The Pank blog mini-reviews it.
Dan Wilcox reviews the HTBI Albany release party. He’s too shy to admit it, but when he sang karaoke, the Danster changed “I Wanna Be Sedated” to “I Wanna Be Fellated.” Genius.
Abigail Deutsch shouts out to “Goodbye to All Them” at the Poetry Foundation blog. So does Anthony Robinson.
Someone is “really enjoying” HTBI. Cool.
