Land-Grant College Review Issue No. One

3 reviews
Aimee Bender, Ron Carlson, ...

Land-Grant College Review, 2003

A Very Well Done Anthology
Aimee Bender is one of my favorite writers and I loved her story. She has a wicked sense of humor, but it was touching and sad too. Also really good were the stories by Jonathan Tell and Robert Olmstead (very different from his stories in "River Dogs"). I enjoyed the book as a whole and thought the illustrations were cool and unique.

Life Changes When You Stop Hiding from Yourself
Ms. Bender has written a beautiful story about the fear of loss (among other things) and how that fear can stop one from living. I can identify with Mona Gray, and who can't (except for some of the previous reviewers)? Bender makes Mona's inner struggles accessible through strong story telling and striking imagery.

We wined, dined and discussed.
My book club recently had the pleasure of discussing this fabulous collection of short stories edited by writer, Marc Parent. When he presented such famous writers as Anna Quindlen, Sebastian Junger, Aimee Bender and others with the opportunity to write anonomously and "dangerously" they jumped at the opportunity. We not only enjoyed reading and discussing the intriguing and sometimes odd ...

Bender Bliss
I love the works of Aimee Bender. Willful Creatures proves that Bender does not stale with age, but get better and better and better. I recommend all her works, of course, but I believe Willfucl Creatures to be her best. A MUST READ for all fans of magical realism, stories about relationships and/or heartache, or just good stories in general. An evening spent with Aimee Bender is an evening ...

Lit Riffs

reversi
Lit Riffs is a unique concept, one so obvious you'd smack yourself on the forehead for not having considered it: stories based on songs, when the reverse is quite common. The choices of songs to base a tale on is wildly disparate, which is cool. Thankfully this collection didn't go down the route of all easily recognizable pop songs. More interesting than the book is the companion recording of ...

Aimee Bender

Anchor, 1999

She's not weird, it's surrealism!
When, oh when will customers learn that reviewing a book has nothing to do with how much you like it? It involves analyzing and, if necessary, critiquing, the author's writing within their chosen genre. Bender is, if not a surrealist, at least influenced by surrealism, so her writing is not an accurate reflection of reality -- well, physical reality, at least. Her stories have an emotional echo ...

Tin House: Fantastic Women (Tin House)
Aimee Bender, Judy Budnitz, ...

Tin House Magazine, 2007

Tin House has become a forerunner of brilliant and fresh contemporary fiction, and this astonishing collection captures some of the most promising literary voices writing today. The anthology includes tastes of Aimee Bender's surreal aesthetic, Miranda July's charming and quirky prose, and Sarah Shun-Lien Bynum heart-stopping and lyrical style. Edited by virtuoso novelist and memoirist Rick Moody, this is not only a collection of great ...

a big punch
I am bored with many print magazines nowadays. The same things, the same things. Ho-hum. I've been following this zine for a while now, open it every month with relish. They've definitely picked a lot of their best, and Camille Renshaw's intro says a lot about WHY I don't like other magazines. Here is something worth a read, something that will make you want to get everything the ...
