I recently found your work via The Paris Review and was pleased to see that your new book was coming out. I look forward to reading it even more so now that you've shared with us the review. However, the only thing that is missing from your post today is your own review of the review. I hope you'll share your feelings about it or at the very least a general comment about what your gut reaction is when you read the words of others discussing your work.
