Poets & Writers

Reviewers & Critics

ONE of the leading lights in the literary community and among the funniest voices on Twitter, Maris Kreizman is the host of Literary Hub’s weekly podcast the Maris Review. But many readers were introduced to her when she created Slaughterhouse 90210, a blog that pairs some of the greatest lines in literature with images from pop culture. It later became a book, published by Flatiron Books in 2015.

Her reviews, essays, and profiles have appeared in the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, the Los Angeles Times, the Atlantic, Vanity Fair, GQ, Glamour, the New Republic, Publishers Weekly, and elsewhere. She has hosted readings and moderated literary panels with authors such as Elif Batuman, Patricia Lockwood, Weike Wang, and Leni Zumas at various bookstores, conferences, and festivals across the country.
