“Week after week, Courtney Martin keeps putting out sentences that stop me in my tracks. Nobody writes about humanity-- why we're beautiful, why we're frustrating, what we owe each other-- like she does.”
Garrett Bucks, The White Pages
“Courtney Martin's writing is as exquisite as her understanding of the human condition.”
