Reviews of The View North from Liberal Cemetery:
“Delightful. Delightful. Delightful. I’m not sure how many more times I should write that word, but it’s the best one I can come up with to describe The View North from Liberal Cemetery by debut novelist Joel Wapnick....The View North from Liberal Cemetery is funny, laugh out loud funny in many parts. It’s touching and heartwarming. It is simply a fantastic read. I would highly recommend The View North from Liberal Cemetery to any reader who loves great fiction and is looking for a book that will stay with them for a long time after they finish it.”

“This is a story about a retired college professor’s late life shift in values that occur partially as a result of the influence of another person and partially as a result of encountering circumstances beyond his control in his own life that change his self-image. The story is, at the same time, humorous, tragic, moving, and puzzling.”

“This novel is laugh-out-loud funny literary fiction that maintains a serious edge....There is plenty of tension throughout as Carl spars with family, friends and strangers to find the truth about his past and to give Shelley some hope for the future....According to the New York Review of Books eBook series, NYRB Lit, a book fits into literary fiction because of its “allegiance to language.” Nothing could be more apt to describe Joel Wapnick’s novel.”
