Praise for Out of the Blue
CBC The Sunday Edition – Interview with Michael Enright
Maclean’s “Out of the Blue is the first of a new genre: the workplace divorce memoir.”
Q&A with CBC.ca "This is also a funny book. There's a love story in there too, about the support that came from your sister, your husband and your two teenage sons."
CTVNews.ca "A no-holds-barred account"
Toronto Star "An instant classic"
Global Toronto – The Morning Show
Ottawa Citizen "Jan Wong’s latest book should be titled: Reporter Eats Newspaper for Lunch… [a] gossipy, gripping page-turner"
Now Magazine "Tapping into her journalistic rigour, she gathers research on societal attitudes, symptoms and treatments – especially of the pharmaceutical variety – to give a complete profile of the disease and its history."
The Georgia Straight "Author Jan Wong triumphs over workplace depression"
Huffington Post "What happens when you're a leading journalist at a national newspaper -- and workplace stress leaves you too depressed to write? For Jan Wong ... it meant completely re-evaluating her perspective on work, family and mental health."
Publishers Weekly "Book Criticizing 'Globe and Mail' Self-Published"
