Alice on Sunday

Dispatches about literature and life.

By Alice Elliott Dark

“Stunning writing from award winning novelist. A breath of fresh air.”

— Elissa Altman, Poor Man's Feast

“You can count on Alice Elliott Dark to enlarge your mind and set your thoughts to vibrating. About the writing life, yes, but also just life: aging mothers, animals, fears, the injustices done to women, the ocean, the way time slips away.”

— Deborah Way, The Keepthings

“Witty, sharp commentary on the world and writing and the world of writing. And free.”

— Tessa Fontaine, A Tiny Flashlight in the Dark
