Correspondence – Ig Publishing re Bookmarked: The Great Gatsby by JDC (formerly What I Wanted to Be + American Kaleidoscope + Poor Man’s Gatsby)

J. Robert Lennon blurb for World Gone Water: “This unsettling novel ponders human morality and sexuality, and the murky interplay between the two. Charlie Martens is a compelling antihero with a voice that can turn on a dime, from shrugging naiveté to chilling frankness. World Gone Water is a candid, often startling portrait of an unconventional life.”

Correspondence – JDC editing Overcompensating Autodidact (More Alive and Less Lonely: On Books and Writers) by Jonathan Lethem

Correspondence – Garden Lakes

Correspondence – Post Road Magazine

Correspondence – World Gone Water/US (Roundabout Press)

Adrienne Miller blurb for World Gone Water: “Funny and surprising, World Gone Water is terrific fun to read and, as a spectacle of bad behavior, pretty terrifying to contemplate.”

Tony D’Souza blurb for World Gone Water: “Jaime Clarke’s World Gone Water is so fresh and daring, a necessary book, a barbaric yawp that revels in its taboo: the sexual and emotional desires of today’s hetero young man. Clarke is a sure and sensitive writer, his lines are clean and carry us right to the tender heart of his lovelorn hero, Charlie Martens. This is the book Hemingway and Kerouac would want to read. It’s the sort of honesty in this climate that many of us aren’t brave enough to write.”

Matt Bell blurb for World Gone Water: “Charlie Martens is my favorite kind of narrator, an obsessive yearner whose commitment to his worldview is so overwhelming that the distance between his words and the reader’s usual thinking gets clouded fast. World Gone Water will draw you in, make you complicit, and finally leave you both discomfited and thrilled.”

Manuscript – Garden Lakes by JDC

Manuscript – “The Somner Affair: A Harold Ober Mystery” by JDC writing as J.B. West – Short story

Amy Grace Loyd blurb for World Gone Water: “Charlie Martens will make you laugh. More, he’ll offend and shock you while making you laugh. Even trickier: he’ll somehow make you like him, root for him, despite yourself and despite him. This novel travels into the dark heart of male/female relations and yet there is tenderness, humanity, hope. Jaime Clarke rides what is a terribly fine line between hero and antihero. Read and be astounded.”
