Mona Awad blurb for reissue of We’re So Famous: “We’re So Famous smartly anticipates a culture re-configured by the quest for fame. The starry-eyed girls at the center of this rock-and-roll fairy tale are the predecessors of today’s selfie-snappers. With biting wit and wry humor, Clarke brilliantly reminds us that we’ve always lived for likes.”

Margot Livesey blurb for Garden Lakes: “In the flawlessly imagined Garden Lakes, Jaime Clarke pays homage to Lord of the Flies and creates his own vivid, inadvertently isolated community. As summer tightens its grip, and adult authority recedes, his boys gradually reveal themselves to scary and exhilarating effect. In the hands of this master of suspense and psychological detail, the result is a compulsively readable novel.”
Livesey, Margot

Julia Glass blurb for Garden Lakes: “It takes some nerve to revisit a bulletproof classic, but Jaime Clarke does so, with elegance and a cool contemporary eye, in this cunningly crafted homage to Lord of the Flies. He understands all too well the complex psychology of boyhood, how easily the insecurities and power plays slide into mayhem when adults look the other way.”

Paul Harding blurb for Garden Lakes: “As tense and tight and pitch-perfect as Clarke’s narrative of the harrowing events at Garden Lakes is, and as fine a meditation it is on Golding’s novel, what deepens this book to another level of insight and artfulness is the parallel portrait of Charlie Martens as an adult, years after his fateful role that summer, still tyrannized, paralyzed, tangled in lies, wishing for redemption, maybe fated never to get it. Complicated and feral, Garden Lakes is thrilling, literary, and smart as hell.”
Harding, Paul

Scott Cheshire blurb for Garden Lakes: “Smart, seductive, and suggestively sinister, Garden Lakes is a disturbingly honest look at how our lies shape our lives and destroy our communities. Read it: Part three in one of the best literary trilogies we have.”

Bender blurb for Bookmarked: The Great Gatsby: “Jaime Clarke’s ode to Gatsby is a completely winning, honest ode to everything: the yearning of an outsider, for success, the drama of the work world, the seduction and darkness of wealth, the search for love and the complex, bumpy life of a writer. The Nick Carraway of Phoenix stakes his own literary territory here; a charming and engaging book.”
