ABR Gets Physical

When I think of the thousands upon thousands of books that come out each year, I feel extremely fortunate that my novel FREIGHT got the bidness at the venerable American Book Review. Thanks go out to ABR & the universe. I now have physical copies in my possession.

FREIGHT: An American Book Reviewed

"Mel Bosworth's Freight is in some ways a throwback, a sweet-souled, old-fashioned book wearing the armor (or maybe the Nehru jacket) of postmodernism. Bearing a dedication that the reader at first presumes must be dripping with irony, "For everyone and everything, ever," it proceeds to make that cynical reader half-believe—but half is too weak a fraction; I'm inclined to say 94.7% believe—not only in the sincerity of such a sentiment, but even in its wisdom."

Michael Griffith, author of  Bibliophilia & Trophy. Read his full review in the March/April 2012 edition of American Book Review.
