"Jess Row gazes out at the reader and cleverly, hilariously calls us out, even as he draws us in. As joyful to read as it is profound." - Danzy Senna, author of Colored Television
"Storyknife is aptly titled: the sentences in this book cut through each story's surface until we're experiencing a new story at the heart of each story. Ultimately, the book becomes a mirror, allowing us to discern in the reflection what is constructed and what is true." - Rion Amilcar Scott, author of The World Doesn't Require You
"Jess Row upends narrative convention and cracks open dazzling new possibilities in this rangy, virtuosic collection. Just when I thought I knew where a story was headed the path would twist, surprise, urge me into some new and essential direction. Storyknife is a marvel." - Laura van den Berg, author of State of Paradise
