book reviews/things said

Joining the ranks of female fiction writers such as Amy Hempel and A.M. Homes, Jana Martin’s first collection of short stories is a force of contemporary nature. (BUST magazine)

" Martin's a sweet talker; with prose so forthright and deliberate it's easy to believe you're in the hands of a straight shooter. That's what makes it so surprising, so captivating, when you suddenly realize she's been pulling a fast one on you." (Patrick Rapa, Philadelphia City Paper)

"Knocked my socks off" (Mary Greene, Hudson River Reporter)

"Martin is a writer to watch for" (Dan Wickett, emergingwritersnetwork)

“Prose so luminous it glows like poetry, stories that make you cry" (Tucson Weekly)

"Jana Martin’s sentences have beauty and bite and a rhythm all their own. These are tough, funny stories" (Sam Lipsyte)

"There’s an elegant, flaring strength to Russian Lover, a precision of language that is daring and unique" (Lydia Millet)
