Lambert writes of the pain of existential longing with a knowing heart and a sure, forceful pen. He knows, as one character says to another in Little Monsters, that 'people are not simple,' and that's why I loved this beautiful novel. I feel I've discovered a deep well in Lambert. Sometimes his work evokes Hermann Hesse for me, although he is less of an innocent.
If I needed any encouragement to work on my next novel (though I don't), this would certainly provide it. Thank you, Ted.

I'm always glad to share my honest praise - write away. I'm looking forward.
