Every Night… has been getting some great reviews: I mean it’s received some very nice praise, but also the reviews themselves are insightful, engaged readings.

This latest one from Jen Rawlinson is generous, but also deeply perceptive in its sense of the book as a whole.

“Wistful, dark, and complex, Damian Tarnopolsky’s Every Night I Dream I’m a Monk, Every Night I Dream I’m a Monster is an idiosyncratic journey through all the messy, disparate, and contradictory parts of being, or becoming, a person.”

Thanks to the Hamilton Review of Books for publishing sustained, intelligent analysis. Sometimes (like now!) it’s gratifying for authors, but more than that, it’s essential for keeping a vibrant, active literary culture alive.
