THE GATEPOST featured in three Vermont newspapers
Something special about waking up to a well-written front-page feature in a writer’s hometown newspaper!
“A Gatepost to new & ancient worlds: Tim Weed’s new novel is worth the trip” is a feature & interview with Vermont News & Media’s Bill LeConey that appeared in The Brattleboro Reformer, The Bennington Banner, and Manchester Journal.
Much gratitude to Bill or the great coverage and a very fun

| Love this new novel from Susanna Clarke! I'd put this one in a similar category as Ishiguro's Klara and the Sun: a kind of low-key literary fantasy/scifi story well-anchored in contemporary or near-future realism. Whatever you call it, Piranesi like ...more | |

| Didn't expect to enjoy this well-researched and well-told historical novel as much as I did: immersive storytelling, lyrical prose, main characters are sympathetic and you really root for them despite and maybe in part because of how well the author ...more | |

“...[O]n virtually every page, the same unmistakable message: Tread lightly. Think ahead. Respect the reality that despite your intelligence you are inseparable from the great web of life, a species to whom much has been given and of whom much is expected in return, namely a firm commitment to stewardship as opposed to thoughtless exploitation.”

“We’re used to thinking of all parts of space as existing at once,” she would say, “even if we’re not there to experience them. Well, it’s the same with time, Nick. Past, present, future: all are in continual existence, even though we don’t experience them that way.”

“Read good writing, and don’t live in the present. Live in the deep past, with the language of the Koran or the Mabinogion or Mother Goose or Dickens or Dickinson or Baldwin or whatever speaks to you deeply. Literature is not high school and it’s not actually necessary to know what everyone around you is wearing, in terms of style, and being influenced by people who are being published in this very moment is going to make you look just like them, which is probably not a good long-term goal for being yourself or making a meaningful contribution. At any point in history there is a great tide of writers of similar tone, they wash in, they wash out, the strange starfish stay behind, and the conches.”

“All good books are alike in that they are truer than if they had really happened and after you are finished reading one you will feel that all that happened to you and afterwards it all belongs to you: the good and the bad, the ecstasy, the remorse and sorrow, the people and the places and how the weather was. If you can get so that you can give that to people, then you are a writer.”

“After nourishment, shelter and companionship, stories are the thing we need most in the world.”

“Sit in a room and read--and read and read. And read the right books by the right people. Your mind is brought onto that level, and you have a nice, mild, slow-burning rapture all the time.”
