“Ben has a truth to him which shines from every line he writes, a goodness and a rawness only the very brave can share, and he shares, he leads the way, he is a light. ”

“Ben's serialized fiction is deeply psychological, tragic, and redemptive. His characters, each in their own, unique ways, demonstrate how our histories bend and dictate the unfolding of the individual and the collective. ”

“Ben offers so much. His fiction is beyond rich, his non-fiction has a rare depth, and his talent for production actually scares me. I adore him. And you will, too. ”
