Phillip Lopate says of
Wendy's book-in-progress,
No Word for Welcome:
"Wendy Call has a big, pertinent story to tell – globalization – and she does a marvelous job of bringing it to life. On every level, the work succeeds. She has merged an enormous amount of journalistic investigation with a graceful belletristic tone. She ferrets out the contradictions and complexities in the struggle of the 'good guys' to fend off globalization, without demonizing the capitalists. It’s a beautiful job."
