The Believer
Influenced By
Tom Perrotta blurb for Vernon Downs: “Vernon Downs is a gripping, hypnotically written and unnerving look at the dark side of literary adulation. Jaime Clarke’s tautly suspenseful novel is a cautionary tale for writers and readers alike–after finishing it, you may start to think that J.D. Salinger had the right idea after all.”
Perrotta, Tom
Vernon Downs: A Novel
Gary Shteynbart blurb for Vernon Downs: “Moving and edgy in just the right way. Love (or lack of) and Family (or lack of) is at the heart of this wonderfully obsessive novel.”

Dana Spiotta blurb for Vernon Downs: “Vernon Downs is a fascinating and sly tribute to a certain fascinating and sly writer, but this novel also perfectly captures the lonely distortions of a true obsession.”
Spiotta, Dana
Vernon Downs: A Novel
Charles Yu blurb for Vernon Downs: “An engrossing novel about longing and impersonation, which is to say, a story about the distance between persons, distances within ourselves. Clarke’s prose is infused with music and intelligence and deep feeling.”
Yu, Charles

Correspondence – Vernon Downs
Vernon Downs: A Novel
Matthew Specktor blurb for Vernon Downs: “All strong literature stems from obsession. Vernon Downs belongs to a tradition that includes Nicholson Baker’s U and I, Geoff Dyer’s Out of Sheer Rage, and—for that matter—Pale Fire. What makes Clarke’s excellent novel stand out isn’t just its rueful intelligence, or its playful semi-veiling of certain notorious literary figures, but its startling sadness. Vernon Downs is first rate.”
Specktor, Matthew
Vernon Downs: A Novel
Laura van den Berg blurb for Vernon Downs: “Vernon Downs is a brilliant meditation on obsession, art, and celebrity. Charlie Marten’s mounting fixation with the titular Vernon is not only driven by the burn of heartbreak and the lure of fame, but also a lost young man’s struggle to locate his place in the world. Vernon Downs is an intoxicating novel, and Clarke is a dazzling literary talent.”

“At the end of the semester, I often give away literary journals to my students–I want them to know about the range of choices and part of my job is to help show them this world. But I can’t give away Post Road! I have all the issues in my office and every semester I go over the stack to try to pick one to give up and I just can’t do it. Each issue is just packed with goodness and all I can do is show my copies to my students and then protectively snatch them back!” — Aimee Bender

“I trumpet Post Road not out of kindness but out of the purely selfish pleasure I take in a frisky, alert, independent magazine whose words and images spring off the page and sometimes turn a somersault or two before they stick their landings in my brain. I also admire the magazine’s artistic promiscuity in embracing whatever’s good wherever it comes from however it works and whomever it’s by.” — Walter Kirn

It’s like those Paris-based publications that discovered Ezra Eliot or TS Pound or someone. But it’s not; it’s based here, it publishes fresh exciting talent, and it’s helping keep the indie lit scene alive in America.” — Darin Strauss
