Critics Review

“Did you know that William Shawn, the distinguished editor of The New Yorker, once worked at the Las Vegas Optic? Did you know that Henry Roth, the great Jewish author of Call It Sleep, lived for many years in a mobile home in Albuquerque’s North Valley? Do you have any other questions about New Mexico writers and their work? Baker Morrow and V. B. Price have answers. Their loving collection of mini-biographies and -histories belongs in the library of any reader of New Mexico’s vast and surprising literature.” - Beth Hadas, former director of the University of New Mexico Press
