Kirkus Review of You-Gin One-Gin is up: kirkusreviews.com/book-revie…
Their tagline: "A clever ride that will be exhilarating for some but exasperating for others."
Fair enough, I guess. I know Kirkus reviewers tend to be exasperated by my novels!

"Readers who are less familiar with Pushkin may feel just as adrift as the book’s ghostly narrators—especially in the lengthy, challenging opening, which demands some knowledge of the original." I wouldn't say it DEMANDS that knowledge. Maybe it BENEFITS from it. @atmospherepress

"Literature majors, or fans of self-aware fiction by the likes of David Foster Wallace, will be more likely to gladly untangle the strange knots that Robinson ties." DFW: excellent company! But also Rabelais, Cervantes, Laurence Sterne ... @atmospherepress

Lisa Parker Hayreh’s IBR review of Insecticide: A Republican Romance: "At turns nonsensical, sarcastic, shocking, and gut-busting, this bold travesty will hook you. Fans of political satire will adore this gloriously funny caricature of modern politics."

And if you think “Lord Trump the Undead” is a cool title, you’re doubly in luck: I’ve started writing a sequel titled “Lord Trump the Undead Through the Looking-Glass”! @nat1publishing

Reading Mark Budman's The Lives and Deaths of Vladimir Lenin, loving it--and the same publisher, @nat1presents has accepted my novel "Lord Trump the Undead"! Surprisingly similar to Budman's book, but weirdly different.
