  • Almost perfect

    Great content but the fake self-conscious laughter grates. It always takes me out when I hear Maris fake laughing at the most innocuous statement.

  • The Best!!!!

    This is a must-listen for anyone who loves books. Maris brings such depth, warmth, and thoughtfulness to every interview, and it clearly brings such insight and passion out of the guests.

    In particular, I ended up putting Cleanness at the top of my list after listening to Garth Greenwell’s incredible interview, and it was my favorite book I’ve read in the past year. After reading it, I even went back to the episode and listened again, and realized there was so much more there for me to appreci... more

  • The Best Book Podcast, No Question

    There are a lot of excellent literary podcasts out there right now, but The Maris Review is in a class all its own. Maris is a great host and a great interviewer, but her most extraordinary gift is her ability to make a space where her guests can shine. And her guests are amazing!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 227: Justin Torres
Q: What inspired you to focus on Jan Gaye in your writing?
I was drawn to her because there's so little documented about her, and she played a crucial role in the studies of queer identity.
Episode 227: Justin Torres
Q: Can you tell me about your new novel and its themes?
My new novel, 'Blackouts,' is about looking at the past, especially the queer past, and how those narratives are often incomplete or erased. It's about acknowledging those gaps.
Episode 232: K-Ming Chang
Q: What role do dreams play in your narrative?
Dreams are used to communicate between the living and the dead, serving as a bridge between realities.
Episode 232: K-Ming Chang
Q: How do you approach writing in different perspectives and tenses?
I made an unusual choice by using first-person present for one character and third-person past for another to reflect their differing natures.
Episode 232: K-Ming Chang
Q: Tell me about the surreal elements in 'Organ Meats.'
The book goes into surreal territory unlike her previous works, focusing on a disorienting experience within her narrative.
