Marissa Piesman
“Ida was a natural historian who knew how to throw in enough fiction to keep up dramtic tension. And she was replete with details, like a big fat colorful nineteenth-century historical novel, inching forward slowly....Ida's narrative line, like her waistline, was ample.”
Marissa Piesman, Heading Uptown

Gina Barreca
“When women are laughing, we're not telling jokes—we're telling stories. We're talking about what happened to us that day. Our lives are a riot.”
Gina Barreca, Fast Funny Women: 75 Essays of Flash Nonfiction
