'Freeman's interviews transcend the mechanics of the encounters and, beyond smart and knowledgeable, he's the kind of interlocutor who asks a sideways question, then pays attention to the space and circumstance of the answer as much as to its words.' Weekend Australian on How to Read a Novelist 'John Freeman's collection of interviews spans 56 giants of the literary world, nine years and an accumulated IQ reaching into the stratosphere.' Sunday Star Times on How to Read a Novelist 'This book is billed as "the ultimate booklover's book" and it's true. This booklover was in a state approaching ecstasy reading about John Freeman's conversations and intimacies (and occasional gaffes) with all the writers I have loved and wondered about.' Daily Telegraph on How to Read a Novelist 'A sturdy journal with a throwback vibe...Fond, familiar and warm.' Saturday Paper 'Arrival is not a gimmick; it's a heartbeat. Listening for its pulse from one page to the next encourages dual enjoyment, first with each individual piece, and then the pieces in conversation.' Australian '[Freeman's] gives book-whores like me the warm and fuzzies.' Buro 24/7 'Perfect reading for our ever-accelerating times.' NPR's Guide to 2015's Great Reads 'Every piece in this collection has the potential to make jaded readers happy...You need very little time to read each piece but they linger exactly as Freeman intended they should.' Age/Sydney Morning Herald
