As we promised, here come the articles. And we're starting with a good one! In Hingston's latest book review, he reads the English translation of Season of Ash by Jorge Volpi (as translated by Alfred Mac Adam). And he gives his humble two cents. If you liked Michael's previous book reviews, and I know as a fact that you did, then this one will also be right up your figurative alley.

In his review of Anne Finger's Call Me Ahab, Michael Hingston tackles the controversial question of whether anyone should write about the disabled. Just kidding. This is a book review. So he reviews this book, and particularly how it tackles the literary and historical portrayal of the disabled through inventive fiction.

Here at Crab Town, we don't know much from real books, with all the Archie Comics, pamphlets, and product packaging that we're always reading. So every once in a while we check with our friend, Mr. Hingston here, to see what's what in the world of literature. Here's his latest review.

Michael Hingston was once my editor. Because of his inhumanly accurate eye for grammatical error, I was quite eager to get a chance to edit his work in my publication. I put on my monocle and closely considered every word and punctuation mark in this review, but ultimately found nothing to edit. If there are any problems here, they are probably things that I accidentally changed when I was putting it up on the site.
