Literary License Is Changing Format

Starting today, Literary License is morphing into a weekly book review format. I’ll run a book review every week on Wednesdays. I’ll continue to write about interesting publishing and other book-related news as the mood strikes and time permits, but I will not be providing daily coverage after today. Daily coverage of the book world is extremely time-consuming, and since there are so many great sites already providing this coverage, I’m going to focus instead on reading and reviewing books.

I will continue to focus on literary fiction, particularly those books with international settings or that have been translated into English from other languages. I’ll also mix in the occasional memoir or other non-fiction book. With the extra time I’ll gain with this format change, I hope to discover even more great books and to pass those discoveries on to you. First up, see my review of Guillermo Rosales’s The Halfway House below. Happy reading!

Boo hoo I will miss your daily posts. But I understand (sighs)

Sorry to hear you won't be around as much. I really enjoy getting the scoop on the literary scene from you, but I understand it probably takes a lot of time and a huge commitment. I will keep coming back for your reviews though, because I think you write really creatively and expressively and I wouldn't want to miss them.

I'm glad you'll have more time to look for good stuff to bring to us!

I have really enjoyed your pithy coverage of the book world, but I understand the need to cut back!
