Welcome to my very low-fi website, which contains links to my recent fiction, reviews, essays, and interviews, along with a few of the older ones.
My novel, Samuel Johnson’s Eternal Return, was published in October of 2018.
Reviews have appeared in the New York Times, The New Yorker, Los Angeles Times, Wall Street Journal, and Publishers Weekly. You can read excerpts at the Brooklyn Rail and LitHub, and an interview at The Millions.
My wife Danielle and I run the feminist press Dorothy, a Publishing Project. There’s an interview with us about it at the Los Angeles Review of Books.
We both teach at Washington University in St. Louis.
I’m not on any social media, but if you want to email me,
it’s martincriker [at] gmail [dot] com.
