Another green world

       If you don’t believe in magic, read Henry Wessells and find out how wrong you are.
Guy Davenport

       Bookish in the best, Borgesian sense, this collection of Henry Wessells’ fiction is a quiet delight.
William Gibson

       Because nothing is as real as a book. Nothing is as lasting as a dream.
Michael Swanwick

      [“Ten Bears”], one of the best stories published in 2003 : a wonderful fantastical mystery that is also a tissue of allusions to the work of van de Wetering . . . an intricate and elegant creation, a very satisfying object.
Richard Horton, Internet Review of Science Fiction 2004

       Imagine a hybrid of the Swamp Thing and Nabokov . . .
