About A Beautiful Crime
Bookreporter : A Beautiful Crime (February 01, 2020)The setting is marvelous. Venice isn’t just a scenic background for the action of A Beautiful Crime. Its capricious tides and twisty, deceptive geography seem to mirror the characters’ secrets and intrigues.

NPR : 'The Gimmicks' Has Heart, But A Few Too Many Gimmicks (January 09, 2020)The result is engrossing, but McCormick doesn't quite get the ratio right. Fewer gimmicks, ultimately, would have served The Gimmicks well.

About The Topeka School
The Guardian : The Topeka School by Ben Lerner review – in a class of its own (November 08, 2019)The Topeka School – as dazzling as anything Lerner has written – is also his most successful effort at navigating between communal experience (the shared tropes, ideologies and cliches of a culture) and individual feeling (the specificities and textures of poetic expression) without denaturing either.
