“‘Adrien Brody’ is riveting, fresh, and written with a distinctive new voice.”
Stephen Elliott (The Adderall Diaries)
“When I read Marie Calloway I feel a unique, private sense of empathy. Marie talks and responses echo in her head. She looks at her body in mirrors. Marie sees her reflection in the reactions of people around her. Reading her work makes me feel like I’m alongside her in her mind, navigating the house of mirrors of her inner life, and in doing so, I become one. I don’t think I’ve ever read anything that’s made me feel like that.”
Megan Boyle (Selected Unpublished Blog Posts of a Mexican Panda Express Employee)
“These new works by Marie Calloway seem singularly her, and rapidly feedbacking at themselves in a way that wakes something else up, which is refreshing.”
Blake Butler (There Is No Year, Nothing)
“[Women like Marie Calloway] pose a threat to the social order, which relies on women’s embarrassment to keep them either silent or writing in socially accepted modes.”
Emily Gould (Emily Magazine)
