About the epigrams of Thomas Farber
Critical Praise for the epigrams of Thomas Farber

To blurb an epigrammist? Farber–whose wit deserves a whole page–does it himself: "Writer: Someone who can't go without saying."

-- Terese Svoboda, author of Black Glasses Like Clark Kent's


In an epoch of soundbites and compression for cretins, the epigram's hour has come again–brevity for grownups. Thomas Farber, modern master of this ancient form of terse dialectics, has marshalled a second collection of gems. Polychromatic, impure. More agate than diamond.

--Iain Boal, author of The Devil's Glossary


Tom Farber's Truth Be Told offers the sort of wicked pleasures to be found in Gustave Flaubert's A Dictionary of Platitudes; here the great fun is (un)leavened by some equally engaging, astute critical prose on the subject of the text: epigrams. The end.

--Binnie Kirshenbaum, author of An Almost Perfect Moment


Tom Farber's Truth be Told does more than compact the world into the essence perceived by its idiosyncratic compositor. It also hints at an expansive hidden narrative of sex, death, joy and despair. In short, as the author presumably prefers all things, it may be an epigramasterpiece.

--Melvin Jules Bukiet, author of A Faker's Dozen

Hesitation Marks

Critical Praise

"Every epigram in HESITATION MARKS is a surprise, a little jolt, a stab of wit. Farber exposes truths behind human behavior by playing with language, daringly juggling such themes as aging, hypocrisy, betrayal, envy. These epigrams offer little comfort, except in their originality and skillful compression they almost transcend themselves."

--Olivia Dresher, editor of IN PIECES: AN ANTHOLOGY OF FRAGMENTARY WRITING

Thomas Farber has a weird and wonderful mind. He sees everything we see but more. Because he sees more and is so good at saying less, his epigrams translate human experience into playful gems of meaning. The art of the epigram is not only alive and well but thrives under Farber's thoughtful observations.

--Leonard Pitt, author of Walks Through Lost Paris
