Two more wonderful reviews of The White Goddess have arrived.
One from Richard Strachan, who is captivated by Simon's portrayal of Robert Graves:

This is lovely! listen to Simon talking to the splendid Claire Armitstead (and me) on the Guardian Books podcast.
It starts with some lovely whale noises too. Just right for a Friday. Okay, an evil Tory soon follows, but that doesn’t last long…
A quick word of warning

If you want to get hold of a rare first edition of The White Goddess: An Encounter, complete with typos on the inside flap (which are soon to be banished to the outer darkness), snap one up now. We're selling out!
A good review
13 September 2012
The latest is from Words Of Mercury. It's another review that's not only favourable, but also intelligent and thoughtful.
A couple of highlights:
The White Goddess is enthralling in every sense of the word as it flings the reader head-on into a chaos of desire and inspiration, deception and place. The spirit of place and the spirit of poetry orbit and constrict the figure of the Muse which is their liberation and their undoing.

In a few weeks, our second Galley Beggar ebook will be made available to buy in our store. It's going to be an ebook re-release of My Elvis Blackout by Simon Crump and it's a goddamn masterpiece. Everyone should own one… But don't take it from us, take it from Dan Rhodes who says:
Holt!

It is so hard to avoid making a "who goes there" gag.
Anyway, I apologise. The important thing to know about Holt is that Simon will be giving a reading there, in the lovely Holt bookshop, on 21st September. I (which is to say, Sam) will also be asking him questions about The White Goddess – and most importantly, you can too. So long as you show up.
