From author and editor Edward Hirsch: "Donna Seaman reads with her whole body, and River of Books is a hymn to her vocation, a testament to her immersions, the story her transports. The surface is calm, but the water runs deep in this memoir of intense responses, of enchantments and ecstasies."

Donna Seaman has received the Louis Shore Award for excellence in book reviewing, the James Friend Memorial Award for Literary Criticism, and the Studs Terkel Humanities Service Award. Seaman has written for the Chicago Tribune, Los Angeles Times, and other publications and has taught at Northwestern and the University of Chicago.
