	Review: Jeffrey Ford's The Fantasy Writer's Assistant and Other Stories, reviewed by Amy O'Loughlin
		While Ford's stories certainly lean toward the playful and the out-outlandish, the extravagance of his fantastic premises is balanced by the palpability his characters and plots.
		Ford's use of autobiography is strongest in "The Honeyed Knot," so it is unsurprising that this story teaches you the most about how his stories work.
		While Ford's "Exo-Skeleton Town" draws on the negation of the human spirit in a world where its inhabitants are "strung out on loneliness," "At Reparata," the collection's fairy tale, reclaims the human spirit by invoking harmony, a dedication to benevolence, and fellowship.

	BookPage Interview July 2002: Jeffrey Ford
		That question is at the center of Jeffrey Ford's fascinating new novel, The Portrait of Mrs.
		And what an imagination it is! Ford has honed his creative voice in a rich outpouring of short stories and novels, including the unique allegorical trilogy, The Physiognomy, Memoranda and The Beyond.
		Charbuque, Ford handles the mystery genre with apparent ease, building suspense right from the start when Piambo is handed a note by a blind man. Ford says his primary goal in writing the novel was to see how far his character would go to successfully paint his unseen subject.

	Review \| The Girl in the Glass by Jeffrey Ford
		Ford's latest, The Girl in the Glass, is a strange novel; it exposes the sleights of hand that power cons -- yet a most wonderful piece of trickery is pulled on the reader.
		Ford develops a tangible sense of horror with the twins, another of Ford's sleights of hand.
		Ford plays with the idea of monstrosity in both halves and asks the reader to question their own ideas.

	Locus Online: Reviews by Nick Gevers (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Jeffrey Ford is repeatedly a protagonist, but a dream Ford, doing dreamlike things, writing himself from the inside outwards, so that the ostensibly everyday world he inhabits is insinuatingly inverted, Otherwise.
		And subsequently in FWA, Ford the writer avoids blasphemy, employing dreams as literary templates only, although the minor story "On the Road to New Egypt", with its vision of Christ and Satan on a raucous road trip with the adult Ford, may tread the boundary rather closely.
		In the end, the reader comes to know Jeffrey Ford quite well, but the acquaintance is zanily suspect, like a meeting conducted in a dream...

		Jeffrey Ford now shares a story about how he and his brother, Brion, were regularly invited down to Anaheim in the late 1950s, so that they could spend Halloween at Disneyland with Walt Disney.
		And that's Jeffrey Ford, the son of the late singer, Tennessee Ernie Ford.
		Of the four years that Jeffrey & Brion went to Disneyland for Halloween, perhaps the most memorable time was when they went to the park wearing authentic LA Dodger uniforms that had been personally provided to the Ford family by baseball legend Don Drysdale.

	Strange Horizons Reviews: The Cosmology of the Wider World by Jeffrey Ford, reviewed by Tony Keen
		This is true, but it does a disservice to Ford to suggest that he is solely or for the most part reacting against the cuteness of the Disney corporation.
		To this mix Ford brings a touch of the magic realism of Gabriel Garcia Marquez, the ability to treat the fantastic nature (at least to the reader) of the Wider World as commonplace, to convey the sense that what happens there does not seem strange, but everyday, to its inhabitants.
		The apparent abruptness, in some aspects, of that resolution is explained by Ford’s revelation (on Infinity Plus) that Cosmology is actually only the beginning of a much longer and as yet unfinished novel (Ford asserts that a second installment at least will be published).

	The Austin Chronicle: Books: Readings
		In Jeffrey Ford's The Girl in the Glass, reality is a con, at least according to illegal Mexican immigrant Diego, his foster father Thomas Schell, and ex-circus strongman Antony Cleopatra.
		Ford weaves a complex plot that explores the nature of evil and the strength of family through the lens of a good mystery.
		Ford's characters and situations, while often unique, are familiar, as though they are from some unremembered communal past.

	Jeffrey Ford Memoranda Reviewed by Rick Kleffel (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		In 'Memoranda', Jeffrey Ford explores memory and recall using the 'well-built' fantasy landscape he designed for 'The Physiognomy'.
		As Ford explores the phenomena of memory though a variety images and devices, he recalls the history of memory studies as well as specific memories.
		Eventually, somebody will start studying Ford's work, and the books about his work are likely to be thicker than the works themselves.

		Ford: The Girl in the Glass takes place during 1932, the Great Depression, and is about con men who put on séances for the grieving rich of Long Island's north shore Gold Coast.
		Ford: Yes, The Girl in the Glass has many of the hallmarks of a thriller—suspense, mystery, violence, etc.—yet, again, it is as much a coming-of-age story, and a fictional investigation of a historical time period.
		Ford: I think I understand what you are asking, but though it might be there in the piece, it's not what I had in mind consciously.

	Golden Gryphon Press - The Fantasy Writer's Assistant Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		This is a collection for readers ready to make their own distinctions — squirmy and amorphous as they may be — or readers for whom the reality/fantasy question simply does not arise.
		Juxtaposition is the cornerstone, not only from one story to the next but also in the way that author Jeffrey Ford himself keeps popping up and peering out.
		Ford says, in the postscript following, that the process of writing, editing, and seeing that story published helped him to deal with some ghosts only a writing teacher can understand.

		Jeffery Ford can take the mundane, the everyday, and, with the skill of an adept, mold these into brilliantly realized visions, wonderous yet elusive.

		Jeffrey Ford is that rare author who can provide so many levels of reading pleasure that readers will find themselves setting down a novel of his just to contemplate the joys of reading.
		Ford gives readers the feeling that they have an inside edge on the situations he's describing, a natural understanding.
		Suffice it to say that Ford is an expert at cranking up general narrative tension, and he mounts some handsome and gripping scenes of action.

	VanderWorld: JEFFREY FORD WALKS A LONG PLANK
		My friend Jeffrey Ford's Cosmology of the Wider World is a wild and wonderful departure for the author.
		Jeffrey's Ford's extraordinary new fantasy novella, The Cosmology of the Wider World, is a beast epic, a talking animal story in the vein of The Jungle Books and The Wind in the Willows; but this is no ordinary fable.
		The protagonist, Belius, is a minotaur, a wanderer in strange labyrinths of the mind and body, and his story features sex, drugs and a healthy dose of pyrotechnic metaphysical profundity.

		Jeffrey Ford's previous novel, The Physiognomy, won the 1998 World Fantasy Award.

		Jeffrey Ford is one of the few writers in fantasy-scifi who writes about ideas instead of events.
		If you like the pity and catharsis of authors like Hawthorne and Melville, the decadent symbolism of Poe, or the logical precision and impassive sadness of Kafka, then I highly recommend Ford as he is their contemporary successor.
		Those who criticize the plot and characterizations of The Physiognomy and Memoranda do so from misapprehensions regarding the appropriate style and substance of the allegorical genre of fiction which is not to be evaluated by the same criteria as the psychological realist school.
