Critical Response to Lynn Lauber’s Work
What critics say about Lynn Lauber’s Listen to Me: Writing Life into Meaning
“Lynn Lauber knows that we don’t write to be understood, we write to understand. Listen to Me is a generous and courageous book by a brilliant teacher about writing that matters, the writing we do when we’re not afraid to get down to where it hurts. It’s all about our passion for narrative and the transformative power of writing.” ~ John Dufresne
What critics say about Lynn Lauber’s 21 Sugar Street
“21 Sugar Street is a continuation of Lynn Lauber’s profound and courageous exploration of the blackness and whiteness of our common humanity. She creates characters in a page, lifetimes in a chapter. Her expert storytelling moves the reader effortlessly toward a final scene that is immensely moving and true to the heart.” ~ Frederick Busch
“A memorable tale of two small-town Ohio families, one black and one white…A wholly satisfying effort with beautifully limned characters and an energetic conclusion that brings everyone full circle.” ~ Publishers Weekly, starred review
“Lauber …tells a wholly convincing story of interracial love and healing.” ~ Entertainment Weekly
What critics say about Lynn Lauber’s White Girls
“A fine collection…moving and impossible to regret ~The New Yorker
“Compelling… Takes us clearly into the heart of rambunctious sexuality [in a] standard American small town. Across its corners creep the influential shadows of that classic Ohio village, Sherwood Anderson’s Winesberg” ~ The New York Times Book Review
“Masterly variations on a theme of love tolerated, withheld, won and lost…” ~ Publishers Weekly
“A winner…courageous and absolutely right artistically.” ~ Chicago Tribune
