[Gregory Dowling]

Excuse a brief puff at my own trumpet. I'm very excited to say that the first review of my novel, Ascension, has appeared in The Times (UK) - and the reviewer has nominated it Book of the Month. I'm not sure whether you'll be able to get beyond the pay-wall but here's a link. And here's a snippet in any case:

Dowling teaches American literature at a university in Venice. It shows. Ascension blends a laconic, amused style informed by American detective literature with a profound knowledge of Venetian geography and history. Stylish, clever and gripping.
