Book Review: David Wesley Williams pens a mordantly funny, beautifully written send-off to the dying art of newsroom life | Chattanooga Times Free Press In "Come Again No More," David Wesley Williams resurrects the spirit of a dying newsroom with the lyrical gusto of a man both mourning and celebrating his first love.

www.timesfreepress.com/news/2025/no...

Out today!! “Come Again No More is simply the best work of Southern literature I’ve ever read, a story so lyrical and lovingly drawn – and spit-take funny – that the ghost of William Faulkner might just throw rocks at his best work. I read the book in a day, and I never do that.”
—Bryan Denson
