"The book is smart and extremely fun, while Carver remains transgressive as ever. Her untethered subjective analysis takes on an important form of critical disobedience, one that frustrates contemporary appetites for a fixed cultural guideline of what we’re expected to love or hate." --Vol. 1 Brooklyn
“Intrepid, sharp, and devastatingly funny, Lisa Carver has been a refreshing countercultural voice since the 1990s. Who else would argue the merits of Marat/Sade and Tyler Perry in the same breath? And who else could bring to pop culture such an endearing mix of all-American enthusiasm and 'try anything twice' fatalism? 'Sometimes sadness is so great,' she writes, 'one must turn one’s life into a parable just to be able to bear it.' Lisa Carver is a parabalist for our times.” — Ada Calhoun, St. Marks Is Dead
“Lisa Carver always has me laughing out loud. I Love Art is a hilarious invitation to be a critic of your own taste, and what a joyful journey that can be!” —Jacq the Stripper, Striptastic!
"Each entry in I Love Art challenged my understanding of what 'art' is in a way that always felt completely sincere and unpretentious. Funny, provocative, and introspective." — Lindsay Goffman, producer "The Good Doctor"
