Lewis, Christopher T. – Hispania, 2020
Critics have commented on the power of writing--the biblical Word as creation--in Bernardo Carvalho's work.

Ciocia, Stefania – Children's Literature in Education, 2018
The early reception of D.B.C. Pierre's "Vernon God Little" (2003) has been characterized by comparisons with two canonical literary antecedents: J.D.
