CHEMICAL VALLEY
David Huebert’s Chemical Valley (October 12, 2021) received an excellent review in the Miramichi Reader. The review was published online on October 25. You can read on their website here.
Reviewer Ian Colford wrote:
“Huebert’s prose shines, frequently catching the reader off guard with startling but memorable turns of phrase and delirious imaginative leaps. And while the manic energy, eccentric humour and wry observations on life and love keep us entertained, the book’s rich emotional core draws us in, touching us at the most profound level.”
David Huebert was also interviewed by the Dalhousie Gazette! The interview was published on October 14, and is available to read on their website here.
Interviewer Madison Scanlan wrote:
“Chemical Valley is full of stories that are beautiful, gross, depressing and uplifting all at once. Through the use of dazzling language and complex characters, this deeply thoughtful collection will truly get you thinking.”
