Greetings! I am Seth, the new Sunday Rumpus Editor. My first act ever in this position will be to recap this week’s book reviews, so that you can start your hangover by reading the reviews you missed and re-reading the reviews you loved.

There’s lots this week. We’ve got  reviews of three novels (one written by the author’s ex-girlfriend), one book of poetry, and Mark Helprin’s nonfiction about those jerks who keep stealing people’s ideas.

Occupational Hazards by Jonathan Segura: An Ex-Girlfriend’s Review.

Sexual Healing? — review of Wetlands by Charlotte Roche.

The Camera Never Lies — review of Steve Amick’s Nothing but a Smile.

“Inch of Ocean, Pinch of Face.” – review of Full Catastrophe Living by Zach Savich.

And in The Solipsist and the Internet, Stanford Law Professor Lawrence Lessig reviews Digital Barbarism by Mark Helprin.

Also: make sure to check out A Faithful Grope in the Dark, Joshua Mohr’s essay on why indie publishing saved his book and might just save literature, as well as the Rumpus interview with Karan Mahajan.
