In a recent review, Booklist Review‘s Jonathan Fullmer describes Bryan Hurt’s collection Everyone Wants to Be Ambassador to France as “18 amusingly eccentric stories.” Despite containing distinct stories with quite different settings and characters, Fullmer notes that the topic of love persists, writing that Hurt’s collection “deals with young love, misguided love, and failed attempts at expressing love.” Fullmer also acknowledges Bryan’s talented writing: “While heavy on fantastical elements, Hurt’s tales often strike a painfully funny chord and pinpoint striking observations about humanity’s quirky side.” Read the entire review in Booklist‘s next issue.
