A note about The Early Posthumous Work, 5 Jun 2010
By DL Dawson - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Early Posthumous Work (Paperback)
Lovely stuff: the Houston suburbs of the early 60s; fathers; dogs; snakes; childhood. Growing up in a family whose members are unnervingly intellectual, talented, and ironic; growing up as a bit of an outsider in this family, by virtue of being by far the youngest. Wonderful and unexpected observations on the middle class, and teaching, and car repair. Also, and best of all - cats.

The Great Posthumous Work, 11 July 2010
By Ellis Purdie - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Early Posthumous Work (Paperback)
Perhaps I am biased; Steven Barthelme has been my teacher for the past year, and I consider him a friend. That being said, if I'm a decent reader, said friendship should not blind me to the poor nature of a friend's story, essay, or novel. Bad writing is bad writing, and that's that. And if I am a friend, the last thing I should do is deem a bad piece of writing good when it is anything but.Steven Barthelme's collection of creative nonfiction essays is near-perfect. His words are weighty with heart, and reflect a precise attention to the life. There are dogs and cats, memories, personal ruts, and fears laid bare. Steve's is a voice and tone that makes the reader want to sit still, to hear this, because it is honest and smart, written with clean and well punctuated prose. It's not a chore to read Steve's work. It's a delight.
