  3. ↑ David W. Brown (Oct 2, 2012). "That's Not a Feeling and the 10-Year Path to Publishing". The Atlantic. That's Not a Feeling is a sharp, sophisticated read, and with one book to his name Josefson has already proven himself to be a master of form. None other than David Foster Wallace described the book as a "funny, mordant, and deeply intelligent debut."
  4. ↑ "That's not a Feeling by Dan Josefson". Kirkus Reviews. Josefson uses Benjamin, a new student at the school, as an intermittent narrator, though he also narrates events he couldn’t possibly have witnessed, so while we get his perspective on incidents at the school, we get a broader view as well.
