Spotlight on Chicago Authors

oe Meno, Dave Reidy, and Aleksandar Hemon have all had reviews of their books in newspapers or blogs this week.  The Great Perhaps by Joe Meno received a glowing review from the Chicago Tribune in last Sunday’s book section (which is woefully not available online) and a mention in this week’s New York Times Book Review. Dave Reidy’s new book Captive Audience was featured in the Chicago Sun-Times book section.  Interested readers should check out his book release party on June 27th at The Darkroom.  Finally, Aleksandar Hemon’s debut novel was reviewed over at Gaper’s Block.  I find the review refreshing–it’s more critical than celebretory, though not overly negative.  Gaper’s Block is often quite good at walking that line.
