More Collected Couteau received a glowing review from the Midwest Book Review: "The joy of reading Couteau's works lies as much in his penetrating, crystalline language as it does in the works or figures being examined, and so readers receive a wide-ranging treat that examines victims, vengeance, mortality and immortality through an inspection process that educates even those unfamiliar with the subject [...] Readers seeking not just a literary presentation but a lively analysis of selected wordsmiths and their lives and influences must add More Collected Couteau to their reading lists. It's a powerful presentation that offers much insight and food for thought, and which should find its way into many a college classroom as well." See the complete review here. Available on amazon.   February 5, 2016. My new book of literary essays and interviews, More Collected Couteau, was just reviewed by Publishers Weekly, BookLife: "Couteau's essays are informal, fervent, and well-versed examinations of the work or author at hand. At their best, they include fascinating insights into the significance of a writer like [Hubert] Selby.... The interviews are uniformly strong and include conversations with Michael Korda on T.E. Lawrence, Justin Kaplan on Walt Whitman, and Robert Roper on Vladimir Nabokov. Not all of them focus on literature: author Jeffrey Jackson covers the 1910 flood of Paris and why it's relatively forgotten, and Robert De Sena, in one of the best interviews, discusses his life as a gang member turned community activist. Couteau's passion and wealth of knowledge are obvious throughout the book ... and should appeal to many readers." Complete review here. Available on amazon.   December 2015: My artwork is now represented by the Roshkowska Galleries.   November 2015. My Occupy Wall Street book, Portraits from the Revolution, was just reviewed by Diane Donovan of the Midwest Book Review: “Most American readers will harbor a prior, casual familiarity with the Occupy Wall Street movement of 2011 based on newspaper headlines and events of the times; but for a more in-depth survey of the philosophies, approaches, and concerns of the protests, Portraits from the Revolution is the item of choice, offering unprecedented depth and detail on the history and lasting impact of the Occupy Wall Street movement.... If readers wish to gain more than a casual news report’s insights, Portraits from the Revolution is the item of choice." See the complete review. Available in print and e-book formats on amazon.   November 2015. My new book of Occupy Wall Street interviews, Portraits from the Revolution, is now available in print and e-book formats on amazon.com.   August 2015. A Conversation with Robert Roper, author of Nabokov in America: On the Road to Lolita.   July 2015. An interview with biographer James Dempsey, author of The Tortured Life of Scofield Thayer.

Accolades & reviews of Rob Couteau's work

Michael Webster, editor of Spring: The Journal of the E. E. Cummings Society, reviews the essay "On the Trail of the ‘Elusive’ Lillian and Marion Morehouse. Unraveling the Genealogical Mysteries of the World's First Supermodel," by Rob Couteau. This essay first appeared in print in More Collected Couteau. December 2016.

Portraits from the Revolution: Interviews with the Protestors from Occupy Wall Street, 30 September - 8 October 2011: "Most American readers will harbor a prior, casual familiarity with the Occupy Wall Street movement of 2011 based on newspaper headlines and events of the times; but for a more in-depth survey of the philosophies, approaches, and concerns of the protests, Portraits from the Revolution: Interviews with the Protestors from Occupy Wall Street, 30 September - 8 October 2011 is the item of choice, offering unprecedented depth and detail on the history and lasting impact of the Occupy Wall Street movement. Rob Couteau conducted a series of interviews with movement leaders; and while one might think the contents of these pieces would have been reported by the media - they were not. It's also important to note that Portraits from the Revolution remains the only in-depth text interview of participants that is available: so if readers wish to gain more than a casual news report's insights, Portraits from the Revolution is the item of choice. Chapters explore not just each individual's actions, but their backgrounds, reasons for participating in Occupy Wall Street, and their experiences, and offers criticism of media reporting of the movement's history, intentions, and approaches. From how participants decided to react to violent antagonism against the Occupy movement to the social and political ramifications of not just Occupy but the elements it opposed, these interviews capture participants from all walks of life, from teens to full-time workers, and turns the newspaper reports into a series of personal vignettes about Occupy's deeper meaning. Any who would better understand the events and the meaning behind news reports must turn to Portraits from the Revolution for a clearer vision of the 'why and how' of the times." -- Diane Donovan, Midwest Book Review, November 2015.

The Sleeping Mermaid: "Novelist and literary enthusiast Rob Couteau brings readers part of his love with The Sleeping Mermaid, a book of flowing poetry and thought that asks plenty of questions and offers plenty of answers. The Sleeping Mermaid is a poetry collection well worth considering. 'Muse ... She is constant / like a steady stream; / only my cup / may falter.' -- Midwest Book Review. August 2010. Review of The Sleeping Mermaid, by Willis M. Buhle.

Collected Couteau: "Intellectual freshness, richness and potency ... an impressively creative writer, whom Barney Rosset urged me to review." -- Jim Feast, author of Neo Phobe, from his Evergreen Review essay on Doctor Pluss and Collected Couteau. Barney Rosset, the former owner of Grove Press and the first American publisher of Henry Miller, Samuel Beckett, and Jean Genet, led the legal battle to publish D. H. Lawrence's Lady Chatterley's Lover and Miller's Tropic of Cancer. He continued to publish the Evergreen Review online until his death in 2012.   "It's been a very interesting interview. You asked some really interesting questions." - Hubert Selby, author of Last Exit to Brooklyn, commenting on his interview featured in Collected Couteau.     Doctor Pluss: "Amazingly beautiful, haunting prose. It's a great book." - Christopher Sawyer-Lauçanno, author of The Continual Pilgrimage: American Writers in Paris (Grove Press), commenting on the novel Doctor Pluss.
