The Thirteenth Studebaker by Robert Wexelblatt

Wexelblatt’s book is laden with wit, with wry observations, gentle sarcasm, and wicked ironies. It always has just enough laughter to keep its characters (and the reader) from spinning off into the abysses.
-Fred Marchant, review of Life in the Temperate Zone in Harvard Book Review

Wexelblatt constructs rich stories that make heavy subjects dance weightlessly before the reader’s eyes.
-Review of The Decline of Our Neighborhood, Publishers Weekly

Wexelblatt should no more be let loose behind a typewriter than in front of a classroom. Students might begin to think.
-Donald Wayne Viney, review of Professors at Play in The Midwest Quarterly

Madness be blessed, if it brings us the overflow of wisdom and of love that falls from Wexelblatt and fills his Sidney Fein.
-Ricardo Nirenberg, review of The Posthumous Papers of Sidney Fein in Offcourse Literary Journal

Thought-provoking, entertaining and eloquent. . . you can’t help but marvel at Wexelblatt’s ability to move and enchant in just a few concise pages This inspired and truly original story collection is an exquisite joy, offering the equivalent beauty and charm a fine symphony might accomplish.
-Nicholas Litchfield, review of Petites Suites in Colorado Review

Robert Wexelblatt’s new collection displays formal mastery, lucid exposition, and a sure way of stimulating the reader’s curiosity. Characters and situations raise questions, some to be answered, others to be left widening into further mystery.
– Sarah White, review of Heiberg’s Twitch in American Book Review

Wexelblatt’s Hsi-wei Tales is a wonderful fusion of poetry and prose that captivates and holds nuggets of wisdom far beyond the fortune cookie kind. . . . a collection worthy of praise and preservation.
– Nicholas Litchfield, review of Hsi-wei Tales in Colorado Review
