"Berry's foray into the traditional discomfort artists have talking about money - especially coming out the tail of the "trying isn't cool; you're a sellout" '90s - is both refreshing and, at points, crushing." - Fish Griwkowsky, Edmonton Journal "[ How Artists Make Money and How Money Makes Artists ] is a thorough interrogation of the intersection of creativity and wealth, both historic and contemporary." - Josh O'Kane, The Globe and Mail Praise for On Nostalgia : "Coming hot on the heels of the creator era, Berry's incredibly timely book deftly examines the delicate balance between art and commerce, providing for both the uninitiated and those with intimate knowledge a thoughtful glimpse at the tightrope that artists of all disciplines must walk." - Rollie Pemberton, musician and author of Bedroom Rapper "Berry's subject is a wide-ranging one, but he pulls off the impressive feat of covering plenty of ground in a concise and compelling manner. " - Tobias Carroll, Literary Hub "If nostalgia was a disease in the Good Old Days , then David Berry's cogently argued, intelligent, and witty book should be prescribed reading for anyone wishing to understand what sometimes feels like a peculiarly virulent epidemic of our current times." - Travis Elborough, author of Atlas of Improbable Places "We're so lucky to have a writer as thoughtful, funny, smart, and cutting as David Berry. Nostalgia dictates so much of our world, and there isn't a better cataloger, critic, and guide through it than Berry." - Scaachi Koul, author of Sucker Punch.
