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 . . .
