“A beautifully imagined premise with complex character dynamics and layers of human drama … A gorgeous experiment in literature, worldbuilding, and character, the novel makes for a must-read for serious aficionados of literature.”
Amy Lignor, Reader Views
“I must say, many readers will love this book, but if you’re a writer or a true literary junkie (as am I), you’ll definitely be able to get with the characters and understand the intense feelings they have... [Morrissey’s style is] introspective, concise, warm and delightful.”
Peter Dabbene, Foreword Reviews
“Ted Morrissey’s novel The Artist Spoke is a mysterious, mesmerizing examination of the contrary aspects of the writing life, and the fragility of relationships... [The novel] is an exciting literary mystery”
BlueInk Review
"The book is a literary love letter... Morrissey’s supple sentences are a mini-tutorial on craft, pulling a world of emotion from the smallest image...Those who revel in how closely observed detail and powerful language can infuse the most mundane experiences with beauty and tenderness will relish this novel.”
