Matthew King has a flair for exposing the excitement,
diversity and pride of Dorchester residents and their
mixed culture. Though he's relatively new to the
neighborhood, he's been able to pick up the
idiosyncrasies of the place and put them into text that
would make many life long Dorchester residents proud
and writers jealous.
His love for his characters and settings is apparent
and makes his stories come to life. A wonderful read
for Dorchester residents and ex-residents who wish to
relive their time living in the Dot.

I used to live in Boston and never went to Dorcester
(probably because I had heard that it was dirty and had
nothing work seeing). However, I realize now the error
in my ways after reading this fantastic blog.
The Dot Matrix is a cool blend of local history and
local pride that you don't see today. People are so
transient nowadays that its hard for us to develop any
real attachment with a particular place. I love how the
author refutes Boston resident's elitist notions toward
Dorcester without flinching. He is truly proud in the
Dot
