Locus’ Year-End Review Celebrates BOTH 2018 Hirshberg books

In his review of the most significant books of 2018, John Langan gives substantial attention to both Nothing to Devour and The Ones Who Are Waving. “Hirshberg has gambled big, and those gambles have continued to pay off. The result is nothing less than inspiring.” For more comments, visit the review pages for each book on this website, or read the whole column here .

Review of THE ONES WHO ARE WAVING in BLACK STATIC

A great review for The Ones Who Are Waving, can be found in the newest edition (64) of Black Static.  A few highlights: “Keenly felt and characterised…filled with little touches of detail that give the events a mythic and archetypal feel;” “…it is a story that ultimately asks questions about the nature of fiction, showing how it can transform lives, with the writers themselves becoming the ghosts of their own work. It’s a strong end to a collection that is gratifyingly offbeat, aptly fitting the bill as regards the book’s subtitle or tagline, ‘Tales of the Strange, Sad, and Wondrous’.”
