From article on She and I: A Fugue Michael Antman compares She and I with Gillian Flynn's Sharp Objects at popmatters.com

"[S]tylistically one of the most unusual books you're ever likely to encounter ... Brown does some interesting and even refreshing things with the language on almost every page ... the book feels refreshing, if only in the tenderness expressed towards the opposite sex ... it is a pleasure to encounter a worldview in which women are depicted predominantly as physically and spiritually beautiful ... [there are] times when Brown's writing is perfectly pitched to the subject under discussion ..."

From review of She and I: A Fugue Viviane Crystal in crystalreviews.com

"Complexity, compassion, beauty, tension and eroticism fill these pages, sometimes literally and sometimes figuratively open for the reader's interpretation ... [An] artistic presentation that is definitely poetry and probably sparks more philosophical questions than it answers. Its romance again will touch those who are culturally open to appreciate a different form of communication that stretches all boundaries. You'll love it, hate it, resonate with it or be totally confused by it all - it's an enigma fore sure! Try it - you may find something new evolving within yourself ..."

From review of She and I: A Fugue John J. Enright at livejournal.com.

"[T]he story is juicy and full of emotional events, as he pursues love where it takes him ... does not aim to titillate; rather he means to inspire."

From review of She and I: A Fugue Jessia Higgins at ForeWord CLARION Reviews.

"... such intricacy with language is ultimately artful and moving, and the effect of such lyrical writing will not be lost on most readers. This is a memoir that is able to draw from both poetic and narrative elements, blending language and metaphor with story into a tapestry that reads with the clarity of a story but with the lyricism of a poem. The effect is musical."

From review of She and I: A Fugue Kirkus Discoveries.

"An obsessive metaphysical Internet romance between May and December is loaded with long-distance yearning, self-actualization, Zen aphorisms and idiosyncratic punctuation. Beginning with his early memories of life as the child of a single mother in the mid-'60s and ending with a meditation on what he learned, She and I recounts the author's lifelong journey toward understanding himself in light of the Eternal Feminine ..."

Book website: http://www.wisc.edu/wisconsinpress/books/2225.htm
- Synopsis: "In contrast to the traditional frontiers and pioneers focus of western studies, Maverick Autobiographies looks at women writers who came not to but from the West. Cathryn Halverson offers an alternative history of American women's autobiography and a new view of western women's literature. Mary MacLane, Opal Whiteley, and Juanita Harrison, she argues, rewrote frontier myths to make a space for themselves as female iconoclasts from the West. Creating an ardent readership for western women's 'naked' desires, they became best-selling celebrity authors. After their intense early fame, though, they virtually disappeared. Halverson examines why, and brings their texts back to light through a richly textured weaving of biography, literary analysis, and cultural history..."

Interview - "Expert of the Week" - Office.com In The News This Week - "Expert Opinion"
by Tracy Castelli for Office.com

Office.com recently spoke with Michael R. Brown ... about the rise of minority borrowers ...

Q. With the rapid growth of minorities searching for loans, how can the industry keep up?

A. In a phrase: short-term, proactive advocacy; long-term, proactive education. Many minority customers accept loan programs recommended by their loan agent (who functions for many of them as a trusted guide in an alien field) that are completely inappropriate for them, such as balloons, or high-margin ARMs with long prepayment penalties, or a string of cash-out refinances used to finance inappropriate spending.

From review of Tender Darkness: A Mary MacLane Anthology "When a literary work falls into neglect, the work's shortcomings are usually considered the cause. The literary establishment judges the work to have failed to make a lasting mark. Such judgments, though, become their own self-fulfilling prophecy. Sometimes a work is neglected merely for the unease it creates. Read again, such a work can often force a re-evaluation of the very criteria that excluded it.... Tender Darkness from now on must take a prominent place in any discussions of American women's writing and the literature of the West." - Peter Donahue, PhD. (Oklahoma State Univ., Stillwater), Weber Studies (Weber State Univ., Ogden, Ut.), Winter 1995

From review of Tender Darkness: A Mary MacLane Anthology in The Creative Woman "[MacLane's] intensity and originality, most of all her courage in her defiance of social norms, demand our respect and even affection.... Curiously, this reader often found herself putting the book down to gaze out the window, stirred to remember those feelings and thoughts of an adolescent girl, as intense as she was inexperienced." - Helen E. Hughes, The Creative Woman, Winter 1993, p 49. (excerpt)
