Mortal choices Book

By Éilís Ní Dhuibhne, Irish Examiner:
"There's much food for thought in what McGurl has to say about literary trends. Most, interesting, though, is his sensitive exploration of the interplay between individual writers and the Creative Writing programs...Opinionated and lively...He delivers a cornucopia of exciting new ideas and insights in a work which will be indispensable reading for teachers and students of creative writing, and for anyone interested in modern fiction...[A:] complex, energetic and fascinating book."
